Crush Hazard - Mast Failure! Do not stand directly beneath mast or its payload. Be certain the
payload is properly installed and secured.
Entanglement Hazard! Tangled cables can cause equipment damage. Ensure payload cables,
Nycoil®, trip lines, guy lines or other cables are not tangled and are free to pay out as mast is
deployed. Cables that get tangled or snagged on mast or other objects can cause mast tubes to
lurch upward suddenly when the cable is freed. This can cause damage to mast and lead to
mast separation if repeatedly allowed to continue.
Health and Safety Hazard while Cleaning! Solvent used to clean parts is potentially
dangerous. Avoid inhalation of fumes and prolonged contact to skin.
Fire Hazard Solvent! Cleaning solvent, used for maintenance, is flammable and can be
explosive. Do not smoke near solvent. Use cleaning solvent in a well-ventilated area. Keep
cleaning solvent away from ignition sources. Always store cleaning solvent in the proper marked
container and in a proper location.
Bright Light Radiation Hazard! For systems equipped with scene lighting or look-up lights, do
not look directly into lights when they are illuminated. Temporary impairment or permanent
vision damage could occur.
Personnel Freezing/Burn Hazard! If the system is equipped with lights, make sure the lights
are completely cool before attempting to clean the lens, replace bulbs or perform maintenance.
Wear gloves to protect from contact with exposed metal that may be at extremes of hot and cold
temperatures from sun or cold outdoor exposure.
Mast Extension Hazard - Obstruction! Extending mast into obstructions could result in death
or serious injury and could render mast inoperable and partially extended. Before applying
power and operating mast, be certain there is sufficient clearance above and to all sides of the
expected location of the fully extended mast and payload. Keep all persons clear of mast and
mast extension. Do not lean directly over mast. Locate the operator station such that the
operator has a clear view of the operating space of mast and payload prior to deployment to
avoid contact with overhead objects.
