CAUTION:
MANY ORIGINAL ELT INSTALLATIONS ARE INADEQUATE AS FAR AS UNIT LOCATION AND
SURFACE RIGIDITY ARE CONCERNED. BECAUSE OF THE CRITICAL FUNCTION AN ELT
PERFORMS, IT IS IMPORTANT THE INSTALLATION FOLLOWS THE INSTRUCTIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS HEREIN.
CAUTION:
THE MOUNTING SURFACE MUST BE EXTREMELY RIGID. MOUNTING AN ELT DIRECTLY TO
THE AIRCRAFT SKIN, FOR EXAMPLE, IS UNACCEPTABLE.
CAUTION:
AVOID LOCATING THE ELT WHERE IT WILL BE SUBJECTED TO UNPROTECTED EXPOSURE TO
HARSH CHEMICAL FLUIDS SUCH AS DEICING COMPOUNDS. THESE TYPES OF CHEMICAL
FLUIDS CAN PROMOTE CRACKING AND FRACTURING OF THE ELT MOUNTING FRAME AND
HOUSING COMPONENTS BY DEGRADING THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THESE
COMPONENTS. THESE SAME CHEMICAL AGENTS MAY ALSO CAUSE CORROSION OF
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
NOTE:
Statistics show that the tail section of an airplane is likely to be less damaged during a crash;
therefore, providing a good mounting environment for the ELT.
