TURRET REPLACEMENT KIT RP-RM46
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for CRANK-UP SATELLITE ANTENNAS
(Except Combination Mounts - RM-4610, etc.)
Directions for Turret Replacement
1. Crank antenna to vertical position.
2. Remove crank assembly inside vehicle
using #2 Phillips screw driver.
3. Is there a nut in the center hole of the
directional handle? Remove this nut,
using a 9/16” socket wrench.
4. Remove directional handle by pulling
down. Depending on the original installation, it may be difficult to remove.
5. To remove backup assembly from
turret, remove the two (2) clamps and
four (4) screws. Use 5/16” socket, nut
driver or wrench. Do not pull on the
wires attached to mount.
6. Remove three (3) screws fastening
turret to mount. Use 5/16” socket, nut
driver or wrench.
7. Lift mount straight up until free of all
parts. If the worm shaft stays in the
turret, remove by pulling on aluminum
hex shaft (it should come out easily).
8. Remove and clean outer bearing. Use
damp cloth to remove grime, then
replace bearing.
9. Remove and clean gear and hub area.
Add a small amount of silicone grease
to area where gear and hub rub.
10. Replace new turret assembly on mount.
Rotate assembly until the three mounting holes line up. Carefully fasten with
three screws in the existing threads.
Be sure turret turns freely on mount. Be
sure the handle lock is in the rotate
position before checking turret
movement.
11. Rotate square shaft with shaft pin, until
pin faces up at approximately 45°.
12. Replace worm shaft into top of turret.
Be sure the spring and spacer are on
the shaft.
13. Line up hex shaft with hex hole in gear.
Slide into hole.
You may need to slightly turn the
square shaft to align teeth on worm
gear to teeth on worm shaft. The
square shaft will rotate as worm shaft is
slid down into place.
14. Make sure O-ring in on plastic plug.
Carefully screw plug into turret top. Do
not cross thread. Tighten snugly. Do not
overtighten — O-ring will squeeze out
from under nut.
15. Replace backup structure. Be sure to
route wires the same as they were
before disassembling backup structure.
16. Replace the interior parts that were
removed.
To replace the directional handle, refer
to instructions on page 4 for cutting
the length.
NOTE: For thick roofs, you may need a
longer threaded rod, part number 2162031.
