INSTALLATION

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 thunderstorm 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.

y part of the antenna should come in contact with a power line .

If an . .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 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and stay with him. Have someone else call for medical help.

Install wire antennas high enough that they will not be "walked into" by people.

Note: For final installation and connection of your antenna, additional hardware may be required. Before starting assembly, please read through the instructions carefully to determine your specific requirements.
