Chameleon Antenna CHA MIL WHIP CORD-SPRING

Replacement Cord-Spring for Mil Whip 2.0

Replacement Instructions:

• To start, remove the tip and base cap and remove the broken spring and cord assy.  If the spring is corroded clean out the interior of the base section.
• Start threading the new cord through the base section and through each successive whip section until the cord exits the top section with the whip fully erected.  Replace the base cap.
• Exercise the spring to confirm proper function.
• With all sections fully seated pull out 6-8 inches of cord and clamp right at the tip using the clamping pliers of choice.
• Tie a simple overhand knot in the cord and secure at the tip.  Remove the clamping pliers and cut off the excess cord leaving about 1/8” extra.  Melt this extra cord to prevent fraying.
• Replace the tip cap to complete the procedure.

Tools Needed:

• New cord and spring assembly
• Small vise grip or other locking pliers
• Knife or cutter to trim excess cord
• Heat source to melt the tag end of the cord
• A vise or someone to assist in holding the whip
