Cutting Shaft LENGTH, a, Check system for proper

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 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

Hubhandle 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.
