STEP 19. 

The directional handle

and threaded rod will fit 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
extension 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.

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.
