Troubleshooting - Coachmen RV Mirada General Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Water entering vehicle through gear housing.
✔ Lubricate rubber quad ring on elevating shaft (Diag A) 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 elevat-
ing shaft.
✔ Apply non-hardening sealing compound such as silicon or butyl caulking
between base plate and roof of vehicle (Diag B).
CAUTION: DO NOT get sealing compound on bearing surface between base
plate and rotating gear housing. DO NOT paint top of base plate or around
rotating gear housing.
Tuning antenna
Step 1 Your receiver should indicate it is receiving a signal. To tune your
antenna for the best signal strength, SLOWLY move the antenna left,
then right until you have found the position that gives the highest
signal strength. It is important to turn the antenna slowly; since the
signal is digital the receiver takes a few second to lock on.
Step 2 Place rotation clamp in the LOCK position. This prevents the antenna
from moving and losing the signal.
Step 3 SLOWLY raise, then lower the antenna until you have peaked the signal.
You are now ready to watch satellite TV!
Lowering antenna to travel position
Step 1 Set rotation clamp to the ROTATION position.
Step 2 Rotate antenna until pointer on directional handle aligns with the screw on rotation lock lever.
Step 3 Turn elevating crank (counter clockwise) in direction of "DOWN" arrow until resistance is met.
The number of turns will vary according to the elevation angle the antenna was set to.
Step 4 Move rotation clamp to the LOCK position. Antenna is now locked in travel position.
Step 5 Snap elevation crank into place
CAUTION: NEVER lower antenna in any position except travel position.
Do's
✔ Do check parking location for obstructions before raising antenna.
✔ Do carefully raise, lower and rotate – if difficult, check for cause.
✔ Do rotate slowly when searching for the satellite(s) and check fine tuning on TV set to make sure it
is properly adjusted.
✔ Do lower antenna before moving vehicle.
✔ Activate programming by calling programming service for your receiver.
Do Not's
✔ DO NOT move RV/coach with the antenna in the UP position. This will VOID your warranty. This
may also cause damage to your roof.
✔ DO NOT force elevating crank up or down. Check for cause of trouble.
✔ DO NOT rotate direction handle hard against stops.
✔ DO NOT apply paint over top of base plate or anywhere on lift.
✔ DO NOT apply sealing compound on gear housing.
