2.2 Tripod Base Positioning

Tripod installation near power lines is dangerous. The
minimum safe recommended distance from overhead
power lines is 1½ times the height of the tripod and
mast combined. Call your local utility providers to
locate buried utilities prior to installation.

WARNING

The tripod base has three legs, which are individually adjustable, that allow the
tripod to be installed over non-level terrain.
