ALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER AND

INST

IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CONSUMER D.I.Y. (DO-IT-YOURSELF) INSTALLATIONS.

DANGER!!!

WATCH FOR WIRES! YOU CAN BE KILLED IF THIS PRODUCT COMES NEAR POWER LINES. Installation of this product near power lines is dan­gerous. For your own safety, follow these important safety rules.

1. Perform as many functions as possible on the ground.

2. Watch out for overhead power lines. Check the distance to the power lines before starting installation.
We recommend you stay a minimum of 6 meters (20 feet) from all power lines.
Do not use metal ladders.

3.

4. Do not install antenna or mast assembly on a windy day.

5. If you start to drop antenna or mast assembly, get away from it and let it fall.

6. If any part of the antenna or mast assembly comes in contact with a power line, call your local power company.
DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF! They will remove it safely.

7. Make sure that the mast assembly is properly grounded.

WARNING!!!

Assembling dish antennas on wind
example, a 1.0m antenna facing a wind of 32 km/h (20 mph) can undergo forces of 269 N (60 lbs). Be prepared to safely handle these forces at
unexpected moments. Do not attempt to assemble, move or mount a dish on windy days or serious, even fatal accidents may occur.

Antennas improperly installed or installed to an inadequate structure are very susceptible to wind damage. This damage can be very serious or even
life threatening. The owner and installer assumes full responsibility that the installation is structurally sound to support all loads (weight, wind & ice)
and properly sealed against leaks. Andrew will not accept liability for any damage caused by a satellite system due to the many unknown variable
applications.

SITE SELECTION

The first and most important consideration when
choosing a prospectiv

area can provide an acceptable “look angle” at the
satellites. A site with a clear, unobstructed view is preferred.

tions, etc. conduct an on-site survey with a portable antenna.

As with any other type of construction, a local building
permit may be required before installing an antenna. It is the
property owner’s responsibility to obtain any and all permits.

Before any digging is done, information regarding the possi­bility of underg

round telephone lines, power lines, storm
drains, etc. in the excavation area should be obtained from
the appropriate agency.

Because soils vary widely in composition and load capacity,
consult a local prof

essional engineer to deter
appropriate foundation design and installation procedure. A
suggested foundation design with conditions noted is included
in this manual for reference purposes only.
