If cable becomes slack again, raise the tower to
tighten the cable and repeat the procedure.
Another procedure to free binding sections is
to rotate the antenna to a different heading one
or more times. Doing so can help solve the
binding caused by 3 and 4 above.
If foreign objects must be removed to free the
tower, DO NOT CLIMB THE TOWER! Be
sure all cables are tight before removing the
object.
All Hy-Gain towers are factory tested (fully ex-
tended and retracted) and inspected before
being shipped, to insure proper operation.
To protect your installation and your radio
equipment, the tower system must be properly
grounded. Drive a 4'-8' ground rod as close as
possible to the tower structure. Then connect a
#8 (or larger) copper or aluminum wire be-
tween the base of the tower and the ground
rod.
If none of the previous methods work to free
the tower, seek professional help. A snorkel or
boom truck can be utilized to inspect, and cor-
rect the cause of the binding. Never leave the
cable slack hoping the tower will free itself. If
it does come free, it could collapse completely,
damaging both the tower and the antenna.
