DANGER! AVOID Power Lines!
When following these instructions, take extreme care to avoid
contact with overhead power lines, electric lights, and power
circuits. Contact with power lines, electric lights, or power
circuits may be fatal. It is recommended that the dish be
located more than 20 feet from overhead power lines.
IMPORTANT
Use the roof mount only as a last
resort. You can easily damage the
roof by walking on it or cause leaks
by not properly sealing the mounting
holes. Problems with roof
installations increase with the age of
the roof and the type of roofing
materials.
