DANGER
If you work on a roof, tower, or other high structure or use a ladder or scaffold to access the work site, follow these precautions to prevent personal injury or death:
•Walk only on sound roof structures.
•Make sure the antenna assembly and installation surface are structurally sound so they can support all loads (equipment weight, ice, and wind).
•Use appropriate safety equipment (for example, a lifeline), depending on the work location.
•Follow all safety precautions from the manufacturers of all safety equipment and other equipment used.
•Perform as many procedures as possible on the ground.
DANGER
•To avoid electric shock, stay at least 20 ft from power lines.
•If any part of the antenna or mount assembly comes in contact with a power line, call your local power company to remove it. Do not try to remove it yourself.
Failure to heed these warnings could result in serious injury or death.
