Winegard RM-DM61, RM-DM55 Mount travel bracket to roof 6-1/8 from base, Cable clamp, Sealant

Attach RS-1000 to ELEVATING TUBES using E-Clips and Pins supplied.

STEP 3. Remove backing from gasket. Attach adhesive side to base plate. IF YOU ARE USING THE ROOF WEDGE (RW-5000), use

3/16” gasket included with the mount UNDER
the roof wedge. Install the 1/16” gasket
included with
RW-5000 BETWEEN the mount
and roof wedge.See Figure 7.
The word FRONT is
embossed on the base. This MUST
FACE the front of the vehicle.	PINS
Secure to roof using two mounting
screws provided. Check inside the vehicle.
Be sure the shaft is centered in the hole.
Attach crank handle to shaft.
Crank unit up until it stops.

STEP 7. Facing the front of the dish, find coax cables attached to side of the feed arm, Figure 9. Measure 24” of coax from this point and mark. DO NOT CUT. Rotate mount on base clockwise, fully, until it stops. Route coax around mount base, Figure 10.

Fasten cable clamp in hole in mount base (check roof template inserted in this manual for correct location) at end of the coax cable measurement.

STEP 4. Attach reflector to backup assembly, Figure 6.

STEP 5. Attach RS-1000 antenna to elevating tubes. Use the two E-clips and pins provided, Figure 6. Attach coax cable to F-jack on antenna and slide on weather boot, Figure 6.

Attach coax cable clamp at screw hole on front of mount base.

DO NOT CLAMP THIS SECTION OF CABLE. Must be free to move when rotating unit.

STEP 6. Install remaining mount base screws. Install the vent tube on the back of the mount base. (This is the side opposite the word FRONT.) The hole for the vent tube is shown in Figure 8.

CAUTION: DO NOT seal hole in vent tube. Put sealant around the outside of the vent tube, approximately 1/2” from end, Figure 8. Push the vent tube into the hole. The

STEP 8. Feed coax cables through the roof. Weather- proof cable entry by applying sealant under the lip of the cable-entry plate and where cable enters roof. Attach plate to roof with screws provided. Apply sealant over screws and around edge of roof-through plate, making sure cable entry is sealed. Secure cables as necessary to prevent whipping. If cable connections are exposed, be sure to weatherproof connection!

Mount travel bracket to roof 6-1/8” from base, Figure 7, page 6.

STEP 9. Apply approved sealing compound to screw heads, cable entrance hole and edge of gasket under mount, AFTER mounting, Figure 7.

STEP 10. Attach satellite coax cable (with RG-6 printed on it) to the satellite receiver.

ANOTHER METHOD OF INSTALLING ROOF CABLE/ ENTRY PLATE: Attach cable to roof using cable clamp. Use sealant to seal screw heads.
