OUTDOOR INSTALLATION WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

LIVES MAY BE AT RISK! Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions that are

included with the equipment you are installing.

CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL. Make sure no power lines are anywhere where

possible contact can be made. Antennas, masts, towers,

guy wires or cables may lean or fall and contact these

limes. People may be injured or killed if they are touching

or holding any part of equipment when it contacts electric

lines. Make sure there is NO possibility that equipment or

personnel can come in contact directly or indirectly with

power lines.

Assume all overhead lines are power lines.

The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line should be at least twice

the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not contact power if it

falls either during installation or later.

TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND.

l Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.

l Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens.

l Use approved non-conducting lasers and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in

good repair.

l If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.

l If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line, DON’T TOUCH IT

OR ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by calling the power company.

l Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.

MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND ELECTRICAL

CABLES CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS. This will help prevent fire

damage or human injury in case of lightning, static build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected

to the antenna.

l The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the building protective

ground or to one or more approved grounding rods, using 1 OAWG ground wire and

corrosion-resistant connectors.
