During use
Safety first
Beware of high winds in exposed, gusty or medium breeze
conditions. We recommend that in wind speeds over 7.7 metres
per second (27kmph), cease working on the tower and do not
attempt to move it. If the wind becomes a strong breeze, expected
to reach 11.3 metres per second (40kmph), tie the tower to a rigid
structure. If the wind is likely to reach gale force, over 18 metres
per second (64ka mph), the tower should be dismantled.
