WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT NEAR POWER LINES IS DANGEROUS.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ THE ENCLOSED "DANGER" BOOKLET BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• Remember, when working on a roof, use two men.
• Never walk on a composition roof in cold weather.
• Wear sneakers or crepe soles, and use a safety rope.
• Always watch for power lines.
ATTIC INSTALLATION:
Using a roof mount, attach a short piece of mast to a convenient
roof rafter. Attach and aim the antenna in the same manner as
outlined for outdoor installations. NOTE: Antennas should not be
installed in an attic if the roof or walls are metal or are lined with
foil backed insulation.
ROOF MOUNT: Used on peaked or flat type roofs.
Suggested Height Limit:
1
a-feet above roof top.
Using a roof mount, connect the mast with guy ring and guy wires
attached, to the mount. Use three or four guy wires, equally
spaced around the mast, and anchor the guy wires to the roof
or eaves with eyebolts. The guy ring should be clamped
approximately 1-foot below the antenna. Use roofing compound
around the base of the mount, screws and eyebolts to seal
against moisture. After the installation has been completed,
mount the extra WARNING LABEL supplied with the antenna
hardware to the mast at EYE LEVEll
CHIMNEY MOUNTING:
Suggested Height Limitation:
1
a feet above rooftop.
First, check your chimney thoroughly for stability to make sure
that it is strong enough to support the antenna during severe
winds. Do not use a chimney that has loose bricks or mortar.
Install the upper bracket just below the top course of bricks and
the lower bracket at least 2% feet below the top bracket. (For
maximum strength, space the brackets as far apart as possible.)
After the installation has been completed, mount the extra
WARNING LABEL supplied with the antenna hardware to the
mast at EYE LEVEll
WALL MOUNT:
Suggested Height Limitation:
1
a feet above rooftop.
If the roof overhang is not excessive, the side of the house can
be used for mounting. If a wall mounted installation is done
from the ground up, use a ground mount with a "spike" at the
ground. Position the wall brackets over a stud if possible; one
above the other and space a minimum of three feet apart. For
metal siding, mark mounting holes, then drill pilot holes through
the siding for mounting screws.
If
you use a 2-piece mast,
assemble the pieces as shown, making sure that they are
properly locked together. Split between masts should be between
the two wall brackets. After the installation has been completed,
mount the extra WARNING LABEL supplied with the antenna
hardware to the mast at EYE LEVEll
TRIPOD MOUNT: Use on peaked or flat roofs.
Suggested Height Limit:
1
a feet above roof top.
The tripod mount can be mounted to any style roof by adjusting
the bracket on the center leg. Insert the mast into the tripod mount
and place the mount with legs over the roof rafters. Make sure
the mast is vertical. Remove the protective covering from one side
of the three pitch pads and place under the base of each tripod
leg with the tacky side towards the roof. Secure the tripod mount
to the roof using lag screws. After the installation has been
completed, mount the extra WARNING LABEL supplied with
the antenna hardware to the mast at EYE LEVEll
ANTENNA REMOVAL:
Removal of your antenna should be exactly in reverse of the
installation instructions. For your own safety, please follow the
instructions for installing the antenna starting with the last step
first. This is the only way to safely remove your antenna.
