Please read and follow these important safety precautions:

•Do not try to determine which overhead wires carry high voltage. Check with the power company.
•If you notice anything making contact with the overhead wires, call the power company to have it removed safely.
•Do not run the downlead cable over power wires.
•Obtain help from a qualified professional when removing the old antenna if there is any doubt clearing overhead wires.
•Never install an antenna by yourself. Be sure to have at least two people available for help.
•Never install the antenna when it is windy.
•Be sure to do all assembly work on the ground; then raise the antenna.
•Make sure the antenna mast downlead cable is connected to a suitable lightning arrester.
•Use 8 (or larger) AWG ground wire between the mast and the ground.
•Make sure the installation is secure with the use of guy wires or other mounting hardware.
•If you lose your grip on the antenna, let it fall to the ground. Do not attempt to catch it as it may touch power lines as it falls.
