INSTRUCTIONS

Many do-it-yourself and professional antenna installers

are injured or killed each year by electrocution. While

anyone can see the obvious danger of falling, the most

resourceful sometimes fails to recognize overhead wires

as being potentially lethal. To touch any part of the

antenna mast or guy wires to these overhead wires is

the same as touching them with your bare hand. A very

serious shock is almost sure to result when contacting

an electrical wire, and in the case of primary wires on

the top of poles, the shock is like being struck by a bolt

of lightning. Many power wires are within 20' to 25' of the

ground and could easily be touched by an assembled

antenna and mast.

WARNING!

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO

NOT EXPOSE POWER SUPPLY SECTION OF

THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Please read and follow these suggestions, if

applicable:

1. Try to have two people available for help, if

needed.
2. Try to select antenna site well away from all

overhead wires. Check distances.
3. If possible, do all assembly work on ground

    and then raise the antenna.
4.   Don’t try to install antenna when it is windy.
5.   If  anything  should  come  in  contact  with  the

overhead wires, call the power company.

They will remove it safely.
6. Don’t try to guess which overhead wires carry

high voltage. Check with power company.
7. Make the installation secure. Use plenty of

guy wires and good hardware.
8. Make sure antenna mast and downlead cable

are connected to suitable lightning arrestors.

Use at least No. 8 ground wire between mast

    and ground.
9.   Do not run downlead over power wires.
10. Get professional help when removing the old

antenna if there is any doubt of clearing over-

head wires.
