Dear TTs,=20
Having just read another opinion about Loose rotator bolts, I got to =
thinking how I install mine.
The longer the distance from the Thrust Bearing (hope you use one) to =
the Rotator, the less the stress if there is a slight misallignment, =
right?
The closer the match of the pipe/mast o.d. size and the rotator max =
acceptable, the closer to dead center?
The larger the pipe/mast to the max size of the thrust bearing max =
acceptable the less chance of tightening it Off-center, right?
Installing the whole thing LOOSELY first, then rotating it a bit and =
finding the Sweet Spot and Then tightening might help, right?
And, of course, doing the Whole thing On The Ground is mucho betta than =
carrying the rotator control box Up the tower, holding it in one hand =
whilst ye hold onto the tower with the Other and then try tightening =
with your Third Hand, right?
Of course... This is My Personal opinion and I could be wrong!
