OWNER'S MANUAL/INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WINEGARD RV ANTENNA
STEP 1: Choose location for antenna that will allow it to rest in travel position
with antenna pointing toward rear of vehicle and raise and rotate without
interfering with other roof-mounted equipment. Make sure inside ceiling
area is clear where ceiling plate will mount.
NOTE: Figure 1 shows minimum distance mount should be located
from edge of vehicle roof. We recommend you check with your dealer
or the manufacturer to see what provisions have been made in the
roof for mounting the antenna. A reinforced area in the roof as well as
pre-wired downlead may be available. For sloped/round roofs, use
Winegard Model RW-1000, roof wedge, to level installation.
STEP 2: Locate template and drill 1-3/4" hole through roof and ceiling of
vehicle. Take care to avoid damage to wiring which may run between roof
and ceiling.
STEP 3: Drill 1/2" hole for cable entry through roof of vehicle only. DO NOT
DRILL THROUGH CEILING. Route downlead cable through ceiling and
wall to power supply location.
STEP 4: The mount is designed to fit roofs from 1" to 4-3/4" thick. As
supplied, the mount will fit a roof 4-3/4" thick. If roof is less than 4-3/4" thick,
cut elevating shaft and directional handle to size, per table below. If roof is
more than 4-3/4" thick (max. 6"), a directional handle extension is needed.
Order Model EK-1036, Directional Handle Extension.

The handle and extension should be glued together after checking that
you have the correct length . The handle will not work properly if it is not
glued together! (PVC glue is recommended; for your safety, use according
to manufacturer's directions.)

Questions and answers
how long does the shaft of the Wineguard directional handle need to be
The required shaft length for the Winegard Sensar series directional handle depends on the roof thickness. The mount fits roofs from 1" to 4-3/4" thick. If the roof is less than 4-3/4" thick, the elevating shaft and directional handle must be cut to size. If the roof is more than 4-3/4" thick (maximum 7"), a directional handle extension (Winegard Model EK-1036) is needed. When using the extension, only the directional handle should be cut, not the extension. The handle and extension must be glued together after ensuring the correct length.
