Rotate the antenna until the pointer on the directional handle aligns with the

DO’S
1. Check parking location for obstructions before raising antenna.
2. Carefully raise, lower and rotate. If this is difficult, check for cause.
3. Rotate slowly when selecting station and check fine tuning on TV set to make
sure it is properly adjusted.
4. Lower antenna before moving vehicle.
DONT'S
1. Don’t force elevating crank up or down.
2. Don’t rotate directional handle hard against stops.
3. Don’t travel with lift in up position.
4. Don’t leave lift part way up or down.
5. Don’t apply sealing compound or paint over top of base plate or anywhere on
lift.
Lubricating the antenna
The elevating gear should be lubricated 3-4 times a year with silicone spray.
Two times yearly or in the event rotating the antenna becomes difficult, normal
operation can be restored by lubricating the bearing surface between the rotating
gear housing and the base plate. Any
silicone lubricant spray may be used.
Lubricate rubber quad ring on elevating shaft which is below worm gear with
silicone spray lubricant at least twice yearly. This will keep quad ring from
becoming brittle which could result in leaks down elevating shaft.
Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide for detailed information on lubricating the
antenna.
