INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A PROFESSIONAL IN-
STALLER AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CONSUMER D.I.Y. (DO-IT-YOURSELF) INSTALLATIONS.
WATCH FOR WIRES! Installation of this product near power lines is dangerous. For your
own safety, follow these important safety rules.
1. Perform as many functions as possible on the ground.
2. Watch out for overhead power lines. Check the distance to the power lines before starting
installation. We recommend you stay a minimum of 6 meters (20 feet) from all power lines.
3. Do not use metal ladders.
4. Do not install antenna or mast assembly on a windy day.
5. If you start to drop antenna or mast assembly, get away from it and let if fall.
6. If any part of the antenna or mast assembly comes in contact with a power line, call your
local power company. DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF! They will remove it
safely.
7. Make sure that the mast assembly is properly grounded.
Assembling dish antennas on windy days can be dangerous. Because of the antenna sur-
face, even slight winds create strong forces. For example, a 1.0m antenna facing a wind of
32 km/h (20 mph) can undergo forces of 269 N (60 lbs.). Be prepared to safely handle these
forces at unexpected moments. Do not attempt to assemble, move or mount dish on windy
days or serious, even fatal accidents may occur. PATRIOT ANTENNA SYSTEMS is not re-
sponsible or liable for damage or injury resulting from antenna installations.
Antennas improperly installed or installed to an inadequate structure are very susceptible
to wind damage. This damage can be very serious or even life threatening. The owner and
installer assumes full responsibility that the installation is structurally sound to support all
loads (weight, wind & ice) and properly sealed against leaks. PATRIOT ANTENNA SYSTEMS
will not accept liability for any damage caused by a satellite system due to the many un-
known variable applications.
