RAISING ANTENNA TO OPERATING POSITION
Turn elevating crank (clockwise) in “UP” direction
about 13 turns or until some resistance to turning is
noted.
AMPLIFIED MODELS ONLY
Turn power supply ON to use either front or rear
TV outlet. Neither outlet will work unless power
supply switch is ON.
ROTATING ANTENNA FOR BEST PICTURE
Make sure antenna is
in “UP” position. Pull
down with both hands to
disengage ceiling plate.
Rotate for best picture.
LOWERING ANTENNA TO TRAVEL POSITION
Rotate antenna until pointer on directional handle
aligns with pointer on ceiling plate. Turn elevating
crank (counter clockwise) in “DOWN” direction about
13 turns or until resistance is noted. Antenna is now
locked in travel position.
IMPORTANT: Under no conditions lower the
antenna in any travel position.
DO’S
1. Check parking location for obstructions before raising
antenna.
2. Carefully raise, lower and rotate. If this is difficult, check
for cause.
3. Rotate slowly when selecting station and check fine
tuning on TV set to make sure it is properly adjusted.
4. Lower antenna before moving vehicle.
DONT'S
1. Don’t force elevating crank up or down.
2. Don’t rotate directional handle hard against stops.
3. Don’t travel with lift in up position.
4. Don’t leave lift part way up or down.
5. Don’t apply sealing compound or paint over top of base
plate or anywhere on lift.
LUBRICATION
(Done 3-4 times annually)
STEP 1:
To lubricate the elevating gear, apply a
liberal amount of silicone spray lubricant to the
elevating gear with the lift in the down position (see
illustration). Run the lift up and down to distribute the
lubricant over gears.
STEP 2:
Two times yearly, or in the event rotating the
antenna becomes difficult, normal operation can be
restored by lubricating the bearing surface between
the rotating gear housing and the base plate. Any
silicone lubricant spray
may be used. Elevate
antenna and remove plastic plug from rotating gear
housing as shown. Spray lubricant into hole and
around edges of gear housing. Rotate gear housing
until lubricant coats bearing surfaces and antenna
rotates freely.
LUBRICATING RUBBER QUAD RING
Lubricate rubber quad ring on elevating
shaft which is below worm gear with
silicone spray lubricant at least twice
yearly. This will keep quad ring from
becoming brittle which could result
in leaks down elevating shaft. Refer
to page 7 for removing worm gear
assembly. Item #7 on parts explosion.
DO NOT connect high
current devices such
as hair dryers to this
receptacle. Maximum
current rating of this
receptacle is 8 amps at
+12 VDC.
