DAVIS Windex 15 Assembly & Mounting Instructions User Manual

Page 2

With tabs centered accurately, fill set screw hole
on side of mounting socket with silicone adhe-
sive. Position locking set screw in hole and
securely tighten with wrench or screwdriver. The
pointed tip of the locking screw fits into the
groove at lower end of supporting shaft.

A mark or scratch scribed
on the outside of the sup-
porting shaft and mount-
ing socket will help in
repositioning them, guar-
anteeing the proper refer-
ence tab positions every
time.

Finally, thread the bird-
proof spike onto the top

of the vane. WARNING: Do not overtighten,
which could crack the vane. If the spike is not
desired, use a hacksaw to cut it off flush with its
mounting nut. The nut itself, however, must be
installed since it contains the jeweled bearing.

ADDITIONAL MOUNTING POSSIBILITIES:

A. OFFSET FROM MAST Carefully bend the
supporting shaft in a bench vise to offset as indi-
cated in sketch. Make sure that vertical portions
of the shaft remain parallel.

C. EXTENDED FROM MAST Use Davis’
Universal Masthead Mount (#1705). If the
Windex 15 cannot be mounted adjacent to the
mast, use the extension arm provided. Simply
attach the extension arm to the angle bracket as
shown on the Universal Masthead Mount pack-
age and attach the Windex 15 supporting shaft to
the other end of the arm. Locate in proper posi-
tion and tighten hardware.

D. J-BASE Use Davis’ Windex J-Base (#3155)
in place of the standard Windex 15 mounting
socket to allow top or side mounting. Instructions
included with product.

B. ADJACENT TO MAST Use Davis’ Universal
Masthead Mount (#1705), available at most deal-
ers. If the Windex 15 can be mounted adjacent to
mast, locate the aluminum angle bracket and drill
a new mounting hole as instructed on the back of
the Universal Masthead package. Secure the
bracket using the #10 sheet metal screws provid-
ed. Place the Windex 15 mounting support shaft
socket into the hole in the bracket and secure
with nut and lock washers as provided.

MAINTENANCE. Windex 15 requires no lubrica-
tion, but years of salt or dirt build-up should be
rinsed off with fresh water occasionally. Check
the assembly screws holding your Windex
together periodically. Prior to unstepping your
mast, take your Windex down first. Spare parts
can be ordered from your local dealer or from
Davis.
