Turn the knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to "S"
and press the start button. If the rotator unit stops
before the South position and the indicator light
turns off, adjust the "CCW end of rotation" shaft
counterclockwise as far as it will go. The adjust-
ments for end of rotation are located on the
bottom side of the control box. Turn the unit to
"W", stop, then again back to "S", using the
method as described previously. If the control
light remains on this time, slowly turn the "CCW'
shaft clockwise until the light goes off.

Turn the knob CLOCKWISE to "S" and press the
start button. The rotator unit should turn
clockwise toward the "South" position. If the
rotator stops before reaching the "South"
position and the indicator light turns off, adjust
the "CW end of rotation" shaft clockwise as far
as it will go. Turn the unit to "E", stop, then
again back to "S". If the light remains on, slowly
turn the "CW' shaft counterclockwise until the
light turns off.

Leave the rotator in the full clockwise (South)
position for installation. Disconnect the power
plug and remove the 5-wire cable from the
control unit. Note the wire colors before
removing.

WARNING:

Metal masts and towers must be placed so
that if they fall, they cannot contact power
lines, be a hazard to individuals, or
endanger property! Antennas, masts, and
towers are conductors of electricity. If the
antenna, mast or tower comes in contact
with power lines, you can be electrocuted!
