SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT NOTES

Safety during installation work

When carrying out installation work in locations where there is a risk of falling, take appropriate safety precautions, e.g. use of a working platform. Make sure that the vehicle roof is sufficiently strong and stable to carry out the installation work (risk of damage or collapsing of roof).

In case of doubt, contact a qualified specialist dealer or the manufacturer of your vehicle to find an appropriate installation location.

Make sure that:

-The turntable and connected units are disconnected from the power supply

-The person carrying out the installation or repair does not suffer from vertigo and can move around safely on the roof of the caravan or motor home

-The person carrying out the repairs is wearing sturdy and non-slip shoes

-The person carrying out the installation or repair has a secure position to stand and hold on while working

-The roof and the climbing equipment used (e.g. ladder) are dry, clean and non-slip

-The roof can withstand the weight of the person carrying out the repairs

Caution! Risk of death or injury due to falling or the roof collapsing!

-Nobody should be inside the caravan/motor home underneath the antenna during dismantling/ installation

Caution! Risk of death or injury due to possible roof collapsing and falling parts!

Proper installation and safety

Fundamental information

A crucial safety factor is proper performance of installation and electrical connection work, and the specified alignment of the turntable in the direction of travel (park position), see also installation and connection. Heed as precisely as possible the installation conditions and steps described.

Modifications to the electrical installations in the vehicle should only be carried out by a specialist in vehicle electrics. Do not make any unauthorised changes to the turntable.

Adhesive sealant

The turntable is attached to the roof of the vehicle by adhesive and is secured by additional screws.

Note that the curing of the adhesive sealant is temperature-dependent. It reaches its full strength only after approximately five days.

During installation work, comply strictly with the processing and safety instructions for the adhesive sealant (Sikaflex® 291 safety data sheet and Sikaflex® 291 technical data sheet).
