2. SAFETY
2.1 Installation Safety:
Winegard highly recommends the Winegard HD Satellite Interface System be installed by a professional installer, as RV roof top work may be required, as well as some electrical wiring.
Do not install the roof top portion of this system in the rain. Before drilling any holes for installation, make sure there are no obstructions, such as wiring, etc. To protect against water damage, seal any roof top holes with approved sealant.
Read the entire manual before attempting to install the system. Follow the instructions carefully.
Use all appropriate safety equipment.
Winegard is not li- able for damage, expenses, or injury caused by improper installation.
