Install the element return mounting plate (PN 10-1608-01). Use four of the 1-3/4” aluminum saddles,
5/16” x 3-1/2” hex head bolts and 5/16” Nylock nuts as shown in
figure 3.30
. Tighten the nuts, but
leave loose enough to adjust for the center-to-center measurement. Again using four of the 1-3/4 alu-
minum saddles, 5/15” x 3-1/2” hex head bolts, and Nylock nuts, loosely install the return tube saddles
as shown in
figure 3.31
.
Insert the element return tube (PN 10-1015-11) as shown in
figure 3.32
. Be sure that the return tube
is protruding out approximately 2.5 inches away from the aluminum saddle edge on each side, as
shown in
figure 3.34
. Tighten the saddles to a maximum of 7 ft lb (9.5Nm). This is very important.
The aluminum saddles can crush the fiberglass tubes if the saddles are too tight.
Measure 30 inches from the center-point of the Director EHU to the center-point of the element return
tube as shown in
figure 3.33
. Level the return bracket assembly as shown in
figure 3.34
and tighten
the saddle bolts firmly. Do not forget to use anti-seize on all stainless steel fasteners, and also remem-
ber to install a set screw into each saddle pair (one set screw per saddle pair).
NOTE:
If you purchased the optional boom truss kit, be sure to mount the truss attachment plate (PN 10-
1607-01) on the Director return tube as shown in
figure 3.35
. The attachment plate is inserted between the
top of the hex head bolts and the return tube mounting plate. If you did not purchase the boom truss op-
tion, disregard this note.
