Thanks for your continued interest in my rotator fiasco.
Early on I knew to remove the tab on my CM 9521, it is absolutely necessary for my type of install.

The tab is of course if you are mounting to the top of your main mast. It makes it easy to leave the rotator loose while positioning it. It also may be responsible for weight bearing, but once the clamps are tight, I don't think it will make a difference.

I actually checked for binding in my support bearings while my rotator was slid down . I could easily spin the mast by hand.

I read through the CM9521A instructions and saw nothing about weight limits, although I agree there has to be a weight limit.

Still looking for a deal on a better rotator.



Thanks, Bob
