INSTRUCTIONS
Many do-it-yourself and professional antenna installers
are injured or killed each year by electrocution. While
anyone can see the obvious danger of falling, the most
resourceful sometimes fails to recognize overhead wires
as being potentially lethal. To touch any part of the
antenna mast or guy wires to these overhead wires is
the same as touching them with your bare hand. A very
serious shock is almost sure to result when contacting
an electrical wire, and in the case of primary wires on
the top of poles, the shock is like being struck by a bolt
of lightning. Many power wires are within 20' to 25' of the
ground and could easily be touched by an assembled
antenna and mast.
WARNING!
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO
NOT EXPOSE POWER SUPPLY SECTION OF
THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
Please read and follow these suggestions, if
applicable:
1. Try to have two people available for help, if
needed.
2. Try to select antenna site well away from all
overhead wires. Check distances.
3. If possible, do all assembly work on ground
and then raise the antenna.
4. Don’t try to install antenna when it is windy.
5. If anything should come in contact with the
overhead wires, call the power company.
They will remove it safely.
6. Don’t try to guess which overhead wires carry
high voltage. Check with power company.
7. Make the installation secure. Use plenty of
guy wires and good hardware.
8. Make sure antenna mast and downlead cable
are connected to suitable lightning arrestors.
Use at least No. 8 ground wire between mast
and ground.
9. Do not run downlead over power wires.
10. Get professional help when removing the old
antenna if there is any doubt of clearing over-
head wires.
