STEP 1. Choose a location on the roof for the unit. The dish must be able to rotate without interfering with other roof- mounted equipment (air conditioners, etc.), Figure 4. Be sure the interior ceiling plate is easily accessible with no obstruc- tions that may interfere with operation.

NOTE: Check with your dealer or vehicle manufac- turer for features that may have been installed for

antenna mounting — reinforced roof areas or pre-wireFIGURE 4 installation done at the factory.

THE SYSTEM MUST BE LEVEL FOR PROPER OP- ERATION! Winegard’s RW-5000 roof wedge is available for sloped roofs, Figure 5. If using roof wedge, installer will provide longer mounting screws. Mount base plate and ceiling plate must be parallel with each other, Figure 5. If shims or wedges are used, the installer must supply.

STEP 2. Position roof template (inserted in this manual) on the roof. CAUTION: DO NOT drill through wiring. Carefully drill a 1-3/4” hole through roof and ceiling of vehicle. Inspect hole to make sure wiring is intact.
