Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successfully raising a mast or
tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task and
should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue
instructions and watch for signs of trouble.

If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember that the antenna, mast,
cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current. Even the slightest touch
of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the
installer: you!
