Winegard Antenna Elevating Shaft Replacement & Installation Guide
Important Warning
- Do not lose the small washer on the elevating arm. This washer is critical for the proper operation of the elevating mechanism.
Replacement/Installation Steps:
Removing the Plastic Retaining Cap:
- Locate the plastic retaining cap at the base of the elevating arm.
- Carefully remove this cap to access the internal components necessary for the shaft replacement or installation.
Installing the Elevating Arm:
- With the top arm of the antenna about halfway open, position the elevating arm for installation.
- Begin screwing in the elevating arm into its designated slot. Ensure that it is being threaded correctly to avoid cross-threading or damage.
Securing the Elevating Arm:
- Continue screwing the elevating arm until the top is almost flush with the housing. This ensures that the arm is securely in place and will operate smoothly.
- It is crucial that the arm is not overtightened, as this could cause damage to the threads or the housing itself.
Replacing the Retaining Cap:
- Once the elevating arm is securely in place and properly aligned, replace the plastic retaining cap.
- Ensure the cap is snug but not overly tight, to allow for proper movement and operation of the elevating mechanism.
Final Steps:
- Follow the remainder of the antenna installation instructions to complete the setup.
- Ensure all connections are secure and that the antenna operates as expected.
Additional Notes:
- This procedure is also applicable for initial installation scenarios where the elevating shaft has been removed prior to shipment to prevent damage.
- The small washer on the elevating arm plays a crucial role in the smooth operation of the elevating mechanism. Ensure it is not misplaced during the installation or replacement process.
By following these detailed steps, customer service and technical staff can effectively guide customers through the process of replacing or installing the elevating shaft of their Winegard Antenna, ensuring a successful setup and operation.
