Antenna won’t go up
Trying to get the tv antenna up! Trying everything, won’t go up? Is something broken? Pulled down on the handle & turned clockwise, nothing happened? Any body know what’s wrong? Or am I doing something wrong?

I would get up there and take a look...maybe it’s been tied down for some reason.

They need to be lubed about once a year or the plastic gear will bind up. The gear is cheap and pretty easy to replace, but a gemerous shot of liquid silicone lubricant, some GENTLE wiggling from below, then waiting and retrying the next day is often successful.

If the handle was turning, the gears may be stripped. If you have the Winegard Sensar, parts are available from Winegard. The gears are supposed to be lubricated periodically.

Shouldn’t be able to rotate in the down position. Also make sure you raise and lower with the arrows correctly lined up.

I've got that useless 'flying saucer' antennae on my 30FC.
I might draw in a local station, if I'm within a couple of miles of it.

It’s probably stuck to the roof there is a rubber bumper on the bottom of the antenna and sometimes you can get stuck to the roof of you need to do is with the antenna slightly with your hand and unstick the bumper from the roof and you’ll be good to go
