LUBRICATION
STEP 1: To lubricate the elevating gear, apply a liberal
amount of silicone spray lubricant to the elevating gear
with the lift in the down position (see illustration below),
then run the lift up and down a few times to distribute the
lubricant over gears.
STEP 2: Twice yearly or in the event that 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. Elevate
antenna and remove set screw or plastic plug from
rotating gear housing as shown. Spray lubricant into
hole and around edges of gear housing. Rotate gear
housing until lubricant coats bearing surfaces and
antenna rotates freely.

LUBRICATING RUBBER QUAD RING
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 page
8 for removing worm gear assembly.
