MANUAL LOWERING TO PARK POSITION
If a defect arises in the electronic controls, after some disassembly work the antenna can be returned to the park position (horizontal position) manually. Following this however, recalibration by an authorised workshop is always necessary.
Driving to the nearest workshop with the antenna extended at a moderate speed and taking into account the increase (+ 77 cm) in the vehicle height is an option and is preferable to manual lowering!
Users unfamiliar with the necessary repair work are urged not to attempt to lower the antenna manually into park position themselves. They should contact a technician or engineer. They may find a suitable person on the campsite.
In any case, the safety instructions listed below must be followed.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure that:
-The antenna and connected units are disconnected from the power supply
-The person carrying out the repairs does not suffer from vertigo and can move around safely on the roof of the caravan or motor home
-The person carrying out the repairs is wearing sturdy and
-The person carrying out the repairs has a secure position to stand and hold on while working
-The roof and the climbing equipment used (e.g. ladder) are dry, clean and
- The roof can withstand the weight of the person carrying out the repairs
Caution! Risk of death or injury due to falling or roof collapsing!
-Do not hold onto the antenna, as the rocker comes free without warning during dismantling
Caution! Risk of death and injury due to falling or crushing!
-Nobody should be inside the caravan/motor home underneath the antenna during dismantling/installation
Caution! Risk of death or injury due to possible roof collapse and falling parts!
