Important Safety Precautions
Lives may be at risk.
Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions that are included with the equipment you are installing
Importan : Look over the site before beginning any installation, and acticipate possible hazards, especially these :
Contacting power lines can be lethat. Make sure no power lines are anywhere where possible contact can be made.
Antennas, masts, towers, guy wires or cables may lean or fall and contact these lines. People may be injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of equipment when it contacts electric lines. Make sure there is NO possibility that equipment or personnel can come in contact directly or indirectly with power lines.
Assume all overhead lines are power lines.
The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line should be at least twice the total length of the mast/ antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not contact power if it falls either during installation or later.
To avoid falling, use safe procedure when working at heights above ground.
Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation
Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens.
Use approved non-conducting ladders and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good repair.
If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.
If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line., don’t’thouch it or attempt to move it. Instead, save your life by calling the power company.
Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.
