It's your antenna, you should be able to feel free to raise and lower it
anytime you want to, and yes, lubrication is always a good thing
... makes the erecting and subsequent lowering much smoother ... ;)

I dunno about the newer ones, but the older rotating antennas, if you didn't lubricate from time to time, the O ring would get dry and allow rainwater to get into your rooftop.

I can send you the user manual for the ant if you will send me your email address in a PM. The manual describes where, what and how often to lubricate. It also has diagrams to help you.
