2.If switch is in the correct position, unplug positioner from AC power.

3.Inspect positioner AC power cord for cuts, abrasions, etc. If defective, return to Winegard Service Dept. If power cord is OK, proceed to next step.

4.Disconnect all cables from rear of positioner. Plug positioner back into AC power. If positioner comes on, there is a short in the cables that connect to the positioner; proceed to next step. If positioner does not come on, contact your dealer or Winegard Service Dept.

7.Unplug positioner. Remove mount from mount base. Disconnect the cable that is faulty at the mount.

8.Plug positioner back into AC power. If positioner does not turn on, then the 35' cable from positioner to the mount is faulty. Repair/replace as required to correct problem. If positioner does turn on, the faulty cable is in the mount.

Contact your dealer or Winegard Service Dept. before proceeding.
