DANGER:
Do not install near power lines. If any part of the tower comes in contact with
power lines you could be KILLED. Contact local utilities for the location of buried utility
lines before digging or driving grounding rods.
CAUTION:
Do not fit the 3 meter T.Weather 106 Tower sections together until the
appropriate time. Once attached, they cannot be detached.
The T.Weather 106 Tower provides a support structure for mounting the T.Weather 106
weather station components. Figure 2.1-1 shows a typical T.Weather 106 Tower
