where they exit from the appliance.
POLARIZATION — If your purchased product is
provided with a polarized power plug, please reed
the following instructions. This product is equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a

Coda, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection
to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig.
