Safety Instructions
lighting arresting device. Local codes may apply. Use 8 AWG
or larger ground wire.
Height or other restrictions on antennas may apply to your
installation depending on your proximity to an airport, or
local ordinances.
Take the time to plan your installation procedure. Do all
assembly work on the antenna on the ground. Raise the
completed antenna after assembly.
Do NOT work on a wet, snowy or windy day or if a thun-
derstorm is approaching. Do NOT use a metal ladder.
If the antenna assembly starts to fall, get away from it and
let it fall. Remember that the antenna mast and cable are
all excellent conductors of electrical current.
Do NOT install the antenna by yourself. Be sure that there
are two other people available for help.
If any part of the antenna should come in contact with a
power line . . . DON'T TOUCH IT OR TRY TO REMOVE IT
YOURSELF. Call your local power company immediately.
They will remove it.
Should an electrical accident occur . . . DON'T TOUCH THE
PERSON IN CONTACT WITH THE POWER LINE, or you too
can become electrocuted. Instead, use a DRY board, stick,
or rope to push or pull the victim away from the power
lines and antenna. Once clear, check the victim. If he has
stopped breathing, immediately administer cardiopul-
monary resuscitation (CPR) and stay with him. Have some-
one else call for medical help.
Install wire antennas high enough that they will not be
"walked into" by people.
Do not install antenna wire(s) over or under utility lines.
