STEP 15. The directional handle and threaded rod will fit roofs up to 5¼” 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 extension will increase the length of the directional handle by 2¼”. See Figure 11.

STEP 16. Press the directional handle onto the hub. Point arrow on the directional handle towards the rotate/lock lever to orient to the splines.
STEP 17. Install the washer and nut on the threaded rod. Tighten the nut enough to snug the directional handle to the hub.
STEP 18. IF YOU ARE USING AN EXTENSION, adjust the total length of the directional handle 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 over 5¼” thick, a longer aluminum hex shaft is needed. Contact Winegard for this part.
Cutting Shaft Length
Flip down handle on the elevating crank handle. Slide elevating crank handle up shaft until snug against the directional handle.
Mark the elevating shaft at the inside bottom surface of crank handle housing (Figure 13).
After removing crank handle, cut shaft at mark.
