INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY
STEP 1. Choose a location on the roof for dish that will allow dish to raise and rotate without
interfering with other roof-mounted equipment. Make sure inside ceiling plate is easily
accessible, and with no obstructions that would interfere with operation.
Figure 1 shows minimum distance (10") antenna should be located from edge
of vehicle roof. It is recommended that you check with your dealer or manufacturer
for provisions that may have been made in the roof for antenna mounting; a
reinforced roof area, or pre-wire installation
from the factory.
NOTE:
The system must be level for
proper operation.
Winegard Model
RW-5000 roof wedge with gasket is available. If
inside roof wedge is needed, Winegard’s
RW-1000 can be trimmed to fit ceiling plate.
STEP 2. Position template on roof (pg. 8 this
manual). CAUTION: DO NOT drill through wiring.
Carefully drill a 1-3/4"hole through roof and ceiling
of vehicle. Inspect hole to make sure wiring is
intact. (Roof template, pgs. 8-9.)
