DANGER
If you work on a roof, tower, or other high structure or use a
ladder or scaffold to access the work site, follow these
precautions to prevent personal injury or death:
•
Walk only on sound roof structures.
•
Make sure the antenna assembly and installation
surface are structurally sound so that they can support
all loads (equipment weight, ice, and wind).
•
Use safety equipment (for example, a lifeline)
appropriate for the work location.
•
Follow all manufacturer safety precautions for all safety
and other equipment used.
•
Perform as many procedures as possible on the ground.
DANGER
•
To avoid electric shock, stay at least 20 ft from power
lines.
•
If any part of the antenna or mount assembly comes in
contact with a power line, call the local power company
to remove it. Do not try to remove it yourself.
Failure to heed these warnings could result in serious injury
or death.
WARNING
Properly ground the antenna assembly according to all
federal and local electrical codes.
