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.
Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.
Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident
happens.
Use approved non-conducting lasers and other safety equipment. Make sure all
equipment is in good repair.
If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it
fall.
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.
Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.
