LAW:
Installation and installer must meet local codes and ordinances regarding safety! Installation of this product should be performed only
by a professional installer and is not recommended for consumer Do-It-Yourself installations.
DANGER:
WATCH FOR WIRES!
Installation of this product near power lines is extremely dangerous and must never be attempted. Installa-
tion of this product near power lines can result in death or serious injury! For your own safety, you must follow these important safety rules.
Failure to follow these rules could result in death or serious injury
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. Stay at least 6 meters (20 feet)
away from all power lines.
3.
Do not install antenna or mast assembly on a windy day.
4.

WARNING:
Assembling dish antennas on windy days is extremely dangerous and must never be attempted. Due to the surface area of the
reflector, even slight winds create strong forces. For example, this antenna facing a wind of 32 km/h (20 mph) can undergo forces of
269 N (60 lb).
BE PREPARED TO SAFELY HANDLE THESE FORCES AT UNEXPECTED MOMENTS. ATTEMPTING TO ASSEMBLE, MOVE OR
MOUNT A DISH ON WINDY DAYS COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Raven is not responsible or liable for damage or injury
resulting from antenna installations.
WARNING:
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 sup-
port all loads (weight, wind and ice) and properly sealed against leaks. Raven will not accept liability for any damage caused by a satellite
system due to the many unknown variable applications.
