FIGURE 10
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 2-1/4".
STEP 15. Press the directional handle
onto the hub. Point the arrow on the
directional handle towards the rotate/lock
lever to orient to the splines.
STEP 16. Install the washer and nut on the
threaded rod. Tighten the nut enough to snug the directional
handle to the hub.
STEP 17. 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 thicker that 5-1/4", a longer aluminum
hex shaft will be needed. Contact Winegard Company for
this part.
CUTTING SHAFT LENGTH, Figure 3F:
Flip down handle on the elevating crank handle. Slide
elevating crank handle up shaft until snug against
directional handle. Mark the elevating shaft at inside bottom
surface of crank handle housing, Figure 12. Cut shaft at
mark, after removing crank handle. Reinstall crank.
STEP 18. Check system
for proper operation.
Elevate dish with crank
handle. A minimum of 14
turns is needed to elevate
dish. Then, move directional
handle with dish elevated.
Directional handle should
turn freely. If possible,
have someone watch to
make sure coax does not
bind or interfere with dish
movement.
