Installation Safety

WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT NEAR POWER LINES IS

DANGEROUS! FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE ENCLOSED

INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. THOUGH THIS ANTENNA IS CONSTRUCTED

OF INSULATED WIRE, PROPER CARE MUST

BE TAKEN DURING INSTALLATION. INSTALLER ASSUMES ALL LIABILITY

FOR PROPERTY AND LIFE SAFETY.

YOU, YOUR ANTENNA, AND SAFETY

Each year, hundreds of people are killed, mutilated, or receive severe and

permanent injuries when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these

cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take

adequate steps to avoid the hazard. For your safety, and to help you achieve a

good installation, please READ and FOLLOW the safety precautions below.

THEY MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE!

1. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, please, for your own safety as

well as others, seek PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE.

2. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind.

(Detailed information in Site Selection appears in a separate section of this

booklet.) REMEMBER: ELECTRIC POWER LINES AND PHONE LINES LOOK

ALIKE. FOR YOUR SAFETY, ASSUME THAT ANY OVERHEAD LINES CAN

KILL YOU.

3. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come

take a look at your proposed installation. This is a small inconvenience,

considering YOUR LIFE IS AT STAKE.

4. Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before you begin.

Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each

person should be assigned a specific task, and should know what to do and

when to do it. One person should be designated as the leader/coordinator of the

operation to call out instructions and watch for signs of trouble.

5. When installing your antenna, REMEMBER: DO NOT USE A METAL

LADDER. DO NOT WORK ON A WET OR WINDY DAY. DO DRESS

PROPERLY: shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved

shirt or jacket.

6. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the

antenna, mast, cable and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of

electrical current. Even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line

completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer – THAT’S

YOU!

7. If ANY PART of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line,

DON’T TOUCH IT OR TRY TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF. CALL YOUR LOCAL

POWER COMPANY. They will remove it safely. If an accident should occur with

the power lines, call for qualified emergency help IMMEDIATELY.
