Chapter2 Installation Overview

Safety Information

c. Do dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or

jacket.

6. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, 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 complete an electrical path through the antenna and the installer: you!

7. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, don’t touch it or try to

remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely.

If an accident should occur with the power lines call for qualified emergency help immediately.
