STEP 19. The directional handle
and threaded rod will t roofs up
to 5-1/4” 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 ex-
tension will increase the length of
the directional handle by 2-1/4”.
STEP 20. 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 21. Install the washer and nut on the
threaded rod. Tighten the nut enough to snug the
directional handle to the hub.
STEP 22. IF YOU ARE USING AN EXTEN-
SION, 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 14A:
Flip down handle on
the elevating crank
handle. Slide elevating
crank handle up shaft
until snug against di-
rectional handle. Mark
the elevating shaft at
inside bottom surface
of crank handle hous-
ing, Figure 12. Cut
shaft at mark, after re-
moving crank handle.
Reinstall crank.
STEP 23. 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.
