STEP 3. Attach dish to backup. Use bolts and nuts provided, Figure 4.

STEP 4. Mount dish on roof in upright position. Rotate clockwise to stop, Figure 5. Dish will be toward back

of vehicle when in stowed or travel position. The word FRONT is embossed on the base and should face the front of vehicle. Secure to roof using screws (provided). The travel bracket should be mounted to roof 6-1/8” from base of dish, toward back of vehicle. See Figure 6.

NOTE: Apply non-hardening sealing compound to screw heads, coax access hole and edge of gasket under mount base.

Install the vent tube on the back of the mount base (the is the side opposite the word FRONT). The hole for the vent tube is shown in Figure 6A. CAUTION: DO NOT

DO NOT STRIP wires, terminal is self-stripping.

Slide wires all the way in.

NOTE: This terminal is weatherproof and can be left outside on the roof IF SECURED PROPERLY to prevent wind whipping.

Squeeze pliers until red plunger is flush with res of terminal. (Pliers not supplied.)

seal hole in vent tube. Put sealant around the outside of the vent tube, approximately 1/2” from end. Push vent tube into the hole. The sealant will seal the hole as you push in vent tube. Leave approximately 2 to 2-1/2” of the vent tube extending from the hole. Put a small amount of sealant on the roof under the vent tube end to hold in place.

No cable clamps on this part of cable.

Install cable entry plate 3” minimum from mount base.

Rotate clockwise to stop.

Special instructions: For roof thickness greater than 6-1/2”.

Parts Needed: (not included)

RP-4400 14” worm gear for roof

3200369 Directional handle extension

2162031 Long threaded rod FIGURE 8

Instructions:	THREADED ROD,

STEP 8. Place nut on threaded rod. WASHER
See Figure 8.	AND NUT

STEP 9. Measure and cut the threaded rod with a hacksaw. Use the chart in Figure 10 to determine the correct length.

STEP 10. Remove the nut over the cut end of the threaded rod. This cleans the threads after cutting.

STEP 11. Thread the cut end of the rod into the hub.

ANOTHER METHOD OF INSTALLING ROOF/CABLE

STEP 12. Install the ceiling plate. The rotate/lock lever must point toward the rear of the vehicle.

CAUTION: DO NOT GET sealing compound between Base Plate and Rotating Gear Housing. DO NOT PAINT top of Base Plate or around Rotating Gear Housing.

STEP 5. Facing the front of the dish, note the coax attached to the side of the feed arm. Measure 24” coax from this point. DO NOT CUT. Put coax around mount base, Figure 5.

STEP 6. Apply approved sealing compound over mounting screw heads.

STEP 7. Feed coax through the roof using cover plate (included, w/hardware), Figure 7. Weatherproof cable entry by applying sealant under lip of cable entry plate and where cable enters roof. Attach plate to roof with screws provided. Apply sealant over screws and around edge of roof-thru plate, making sure cable entry is sealed. If down lead connection is made on top of roof, make sure to weatherproof connection!

the directional handle. Extensions (3200369) may be needed. Each extension adds 2-1/4” to directional handle. DO NOT cut the extension, if the directional handle must be extended by less than 2-1/4”, cut the directional handle to fit.

NOTE: A tube cutter is recommended for cutting the directional handle. This gives a square cut; a hacksaw does not.

NOTE: Be sure large and small keyways line up in the hub and directional handle!
