Need to move RV and Antenna system won't
lower to roof.
a.
If for some reason you cannot automatically
lower antenna and need to drive your RV, you
can manually lower antenna. If antenna is in up
position physically grip turret and rotate very
slowly in the CW direction until you hit the
internal mechanical stop at which time the
wings of the Antenna head should be inline with
length of RV. While holding turret with one
hand, use other hand to slowly push antenna
head down and toward rear of RV. This will
place antenna system in driving position until
you can receive service.
