c

once a month. Do not oil or grease antenna or motor assembly.

P
ower antenna is designed to withstand extremely cold temper-
atures, but under severe icing conditions, the antenna could fail to
e
xtend or retract. Should this occur, turn the radio on and off three
o
r four times to help free the antenna mast. The antenna motor will
not be damaged if mast does not extend. A special clutch protects
t
he motor from
possible damage.
3. Remember to retract antenna when entering a car wash, garages
or low clearance areas.
4. There are no serviceable parts in the motor assembly and it
should not be taken apart. Warranty will be invalid if damage is
caused by unauthorized accessories, disassembly or for wiring
methods other than those recommended.
5. Periodically inspect drain tube for blockage or kinks.
6. Use a 5 amp fuse in case of replacement to avoid damage to the
motor.
