STEP 13. The directional handle and threaded rod will
fit roofs up to 5¼” thick. If you are using wedges to
compensate for roof/ceiling slope, be sure to allow for
this extra thickness. You may add an extension to the
directional handle for thicker roofs. Each extension will
increase the length of the directional handle by 2¼”.
See Figure 11.
STEP 14. Press the directional handle onto the hub.
Point arrow on the directional handle towards the
rotate/lock lever to orient to the splines.
STEP 15. Install the washer and nut on the threaded
rod. Tighten the nut enough to snug the directional
handle to the hub.
STEP 16. IF YOU ARE USING AN EXTENSION,
adjust the total length of the directional handle and
extension by cutting the directional handle.
After adjusting parts for proper roof thickness, glue
the extension to the directional handle. Use ABS
(plastic pipe) glue.
NOTE: For roofs over 5¼” thick, a longer aluminum
hex shaft is needed. Contact Winegard for this part.
