Safety rules & recommendations
The antenna should maintain a minimum clearance of 3' from power
lines, wires, trees, or other obstructions. Before installing the antenna,
make sure the chosen location meets this clearance requirement. If unable
to maintain this safe distance, stop! If you are not sure that you can install
the antenna safely, do not try it! Contact a professional installer.
Follow these safety rules to safely install the antenna:
1. Do not use a metal ladder.
2. Watch out for overhead power lines. Check the distance to the power lines
before you start installing. Remember that even the slightest touch of the
antenna to a power line can cause a fatal shock.
3. Do not try to install the antenna on a windy day.
4. Have a spotter when you are on the roof; a spotter can see things that you
may miss.
5. If you start to drop the antenna, let it go. You could lose your balance and
fall, also.
6. If any part of the antenna comes into contact with a power line, call your
power company! Do not attempt to remove it yourself! The power company
will remove it for you.
7. Mast, downlead, and guy wires are all conductors. Keep them away from
power lines.
8. Make sure the antenna mast assembly and downlead are grounded per
National Electrical Code.

example of antenna grounding as per
national electrical code
Mount the 75 ohm grounding block or discharge unit as close as possible
to where the downlead enters the house.
The ground wires for both the mast and the downlead should be copper or
aluminum wire, number eight (8) or larger.
The downlead wire from the antenna to the antenna grounding block or
discharge unit and the mast ground wire should be secured to the house
with stand-off insulators, spaced from four (4) to six (6) feet apart.
NOTE: In the case of a "ground up" antenna installation, it may not
necessary to ground the mast if the mast extends four or more feet into
the ground. Consult a TV serviceman for the proper depth in your location.
