for CRANK-UP SATELLITE ANTENNAS

(Except Combination Mounts - RM-4610, etc.)

Directions for Turret Replacement

1.Crank antenna to vertical position.

2.Remove crank assembly inside vehicle using #2 Phillips screw driver.

3.Is there a nut in the center hole of the directional handle? Remove this nut, using a 9/16” socket wrench.

4.Remove directional handle by pulling down. Depending on the original instal- lation, it may be difficult to remove.

5.To remove backup assembly from turret, remove the two (2) clamps and four (4) screws. Use 5/16” socket, nut driver or wrench. Do not pull on the wires attached to mount.

6.Remove three (3) screws fastening turret to mount. Use 5/16” socket, nut driver or wrench.

7.Lift mount straight up until free of all parts. If the worm shaft stays in the turret, remove by pulling on aluminum hex shaft (it should come out easily).

8.Remove and clean outer bearing. Use damp cloth to remove grime, then replace bearing.

9.Remove and clean gear and hub area. Add a small amount of silicone grease to area where gear and hub rub.

10.Replace new turret assembly on mount. Rotate assembly until the three mount- ing holes line up. Carefully fasten with three screws in the existing threads.

Be sure turret turns freely on mount. Be sure the handle lock is in the rotate position before checking turret movement.

11.Rotate square shaft with shaft pin, until pin faces up at approximately 45°.

12.Replace worm shaft into top of turret. Be sure the spring and spacer are on the shaft.

13.Line up hex shaft with hex hole in gear. Slide into hole.

You may need to slightly turn the square shaft to align teeth on worm gear to teeth on worm shaft. The square shaft will rotate as worm shaft is slid down into place.

14.Make sure O-ring in on plastic plug. Carefully screw plug into turret top. Do not cross thread. Tighten snugly. Do not overtighten — O-ring will squeeze out from under nut.

15.Replace backup structure. Be sure to route wires the same as they were before disassembling backup structure.

16.Replace the interior parts that were removed.

To replace the directional handle, refer to instructions on page 4 for cutting the length.
