Installation Requirements

To install the Winegard Pinnacle® RV Satellite System, Model RD-9946, you will need the following:

A.An area on the RV/coach large enough to allow free movement of the antenna/mount. See Figures 1, 2 and 3 for mount/antenna clearance.

If you do not have an area large enough, you can build up the mount so that it will clear ALL obstructions.

B.A roof plan of your RV/coach showing the rib locations. This is required so that you may anchor the mount securely. Figure 4 shows bolt hole pattern and size.

C.You must level your RV/coach before you proceed to install the mount. This is required to properly level the mount on the roof.
