STEP 15. The directional handle and threaded rod
will fit roofs up to 5-1/4” thick. If you are using
wedges to compensate for roof/cceiling 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”. Figure 11
STEP 16. Press the directional handle onto the hub.
Point arrow on the directional handle towards the ro-
tate/lock lever to orient to the splines.
STEP 17. Install the washer and nut on the threaded
rod. Tighten the nut enough to snug the directional
handle to the hub.
STEP 18. IF YOU ARE USING AN EXTENSION, ad-
just 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.
