WARNING
Assembling dish antennas on windy days can be dangerous. Because of the antenna surface, even slight
winds create strong forces. For example, a 1.0m antenna facing a wind of 32 km/h (20 mph) can undergo
forces of 269 N (60 lbs.). Be prepared to safely handle these forces at unexpected moments. Do not at-
tempt to assemble, move or mount dish on windy days or serious, even fatal accidents may occur. PA-
TRIOT ANTENNA SYSTEMS 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 responsibil-
ity that the installation is structurally sound to support all loads (weight, wind & ice) and properly sealed
against leaks. PATRIOT ANTENNA SYSTEMS will not accept liability for any damage caused by a
satellite system due to the many unknown variable applications.
