STEP 19. The directional handle

and threaded rod will fit roofs up to

5-1/4" 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 2-1/4".

STEP 20. Press the directional handle onto the

hub. Point the arrow on the directional handle

towards the rotate/lock lever to orient to the

splines.

STEP 21. Install the washer and nut on the

threaded rod. Tighten the nut enough to snug the

directional handle to the hub.

STEP 22. IF YOU ARE USING AN EXTEN-

SION, 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 thicker that 5-1/4", a longer

aluminum hex shaft will be needed. Contact

Winegard Company for this part.
