Additional safety precautions
Install the mast according to the instructions of the mast manufac-
turer. For installation in caravans or mobile homes, the Sat jointed
mast HDM 140 can be used. For installation on a truck, use the
HDM 141.
If you wish to convert your terrestrial reception system composed
of the HD 35 and the Shapeg mast HDM 135 to a satellite recepti-
on system, please use the jointed mast HDM 143.
The roof duct and fixing console of the HDM 135 can continue to
be used.
These masts allow an easy and quick alignment of the
antenna from the interior of the vehicle.
Detailed mounting instructions are supplied with the mast.
When mounting the mast, proceed as follows:
1. Prepare the mast swivel head as shown in Fig. 6
2. Slide the antenna into the swivel head as far as possible
3. Fasten the antenna with the clamp; torque for the two M 6
screws: M = 6.5 + 1 Nm

• Before commencing a journey, the antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position
(park position). The jointed mast must be lowered as far as it will go (the swivel head will then-
rest upon the sealing collar). As a reminder, attach the sticker shown on the right where it can
easily be seen by the person operating the ignition switch.
• Exceeding the normal vehicle height by failing to lower the antenna increases the risk of ac -
cidents! The driver is responsible for the condition of the superstructure and external fittings!
• If the antenna has collided with a fi xed or movable object, check that it is still securely at -
tached.
• As the antenna is subjected to vibration loads during driv -
ing, you should check at regular intervals, depending on
the frequency of driving, that the system is still securely
attached and tighten any parts that have worked loose.
• The maximum permissible speed for vehicles with an an -
tenna unit mounted on the roof and the antenna lowered is
130 km/h.
• Lower the antenna if it will not be used for a long period.
This makes the securing bolts more difficult to access (pro -
tection against theft).
In addition the instructions in the installation and operating
manuals for these devices and for the attachments and su-
perstructures must be complied with at all times!
• The safety provisions for the currently applicable laws and
standards specific to the country of use must be complied
with.
• The antenna and its accessories are not toys for children
to play with! Keep any spare installation accessory items
away from children (danger of choking on small parts).
