WARNING:
Installation and installer must meet local codes and ordinances regarding
safety! Installation of this product should be performed only by a professional
installer and is not recommended for consumer Do-It-Yourself installations.
WATCH FOR WIRES! Installation of this product near power lines is
extremely dangerous and must never be attempted. Installation of this
product near power lines can result in death or serious injury!
For your own safety, you must follow these important safety rules.
Failure to follow these rules could result in death or serious injury!
1. Perform as many functions as possible on the ground
2. Watch out for overhead power lines. Check the distance to the
power lines before starting installation. Stay at least 6 meters (20 feet)
away from all power lines.
3. Do not install antenna or mast assembly on a windy day.
4. If you start to drop antenna or mast assembly, move away from it
and let it fall.
5. If any part of the antenna or mast assembly comes in contact with a
power line, call your local power company. DO NOT TRY TO
REMOVE IT YOURSELF! They will remove it safely.
6. Make sure that the mast assembly is properly grounded.
Assembling dish antennas on windy days is extremely dangerous and
must never be attempted. Due to the surface area of the reflector, even
slight winds create strong forces. For example, this antenna facing a
wind of 32 km/h (20 mph) can undergo forces of 269 N (60 lb).
BE PREPARED TO SAFELY HANDLE THESE FORCES AT UNEXPECTED
MOMENTS. ATTEMPTING TO ASSEMBLE, MOVE OR MOUNT A DISH ON
WINDY DAYS COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. ANDREW is not
responsible or liable for damage or injury resulting from antenna installations.
Antennas improperly installed or installed to an inadequate structure are very
susceptible to wind damage. This damage can be very serious or even life
threatening. The owner and installer assumes full responsibility that the
installation is structurally sound to support all loads (weight, wind and ice)
and properly sealed against leaks. ANDREW will not accept liability for any
damage caused by a satellite system due to the many unknown variable
applications.
