The optional DXE-VRW-1 Manual Winch for easy one-person raising and lowering of the antenna
is available from DX Engineering. You can move the DXE-VRW-1 winch between similar
antennas in a multi-antenna installation.
This antenna system requires a heavy duty mounting pipe. Recommended installation should
provide for a 3" OD heavy wall galvanized steel pipe set in concrete. Schedule 80 pipe that is called
2-1/2" has an outside diameter of 2.875" is recommended. The mounting pipe should extend above
ground level by 37inches. Depth of the mounting hole and amount of concrete is dependent on local
soil type, condition and antenna guying.
WARNING!
INSTALLATION OF ANY ANTENNA NEAR POWER LINES IS DANGEROUS
Warning :
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take
extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or
death.
Overhead Power Line Safety
Before you begin working, check carefully for overhead power lines in the area you will be
working. Don't assume that wires are telephone or cable lines: check with your electric utility for
advice. Although overhead power lines may appear to be insulated, often these coverings are
intended only to protect metal wires from weather conditions and may not protect you from electric
shock
Keep your distance! Remember the 10-foot rule: When carrying and using ladders and other long
tools, keep them at least 10 feet away from all overhead lines - including any lines from the power
pole to your home.
