Follow These Procedures for the
Safest Installation
1. Perform as much antenna assembly on the ground as
possible.
2. Watch out for overhead power lines. Check the
distance to the power lines before you start installing.
WE RECOMMEND YOU STAY A MINIMUM OF TWICE THE
MAXIMUM LENGTH OF THE ANTENNA ASSEMBLY AWAY
FROM ALL POWER LINES.
3. Do not use a metal ladder.
4. Remember, even the slightest touch of an antenna to
a power line can cause a fatal shock.
5. Do NOT try to do the job on a windy day.
6. Have a friend as a spotter when you’re on the roof.
They can see things you can’t.
7. If you start to drop an antenna, move away from it
and let it fall.
8. If any part of the antenna should come into contact
with a power line CALL YOUR LOCAL POWER
COMPANY! DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF! They
will remove it safely.
9. Mast, lead-in, and metal guy wires are excellent
conductors of electrical current - - keep them away
from power lines too.
10. Be sure your family and friends understand the danger
of touching an overhead power line. Tell them never
to try to remove any object in contact with a power
line (TV antenna, mast or anything else).
11. Make sure that the antenna mast assembly is properly
grounded.
