DIY Installation

Safety First

Please read through the instructions before beginning this project. If you are not familiar with this type of work, we recommend a licensed, qualified general or fence contractor or Internet Service Provider be employed to install the self-supporting towers. However, Do It Yourself Installation Instructions are available which is the most economical option.

PPE

Installers must wear appropriate personal protective Safety Gear Including:

Steel Toed Shoes
Safety Glasses
Work Gloves
Hard Hat

Always consider that any tower/mast may fail in extreme circumstances. Never locate any tower/mast where it could fall and strike power lines or buildings.

Do Your Homework

Get underground utilities marked before installation.
Mark pipes and electric cables before drilling or trenching.
Keep towers/masts away from power lines, height +15ft.
Bury and cement the ground pole to the minimum specified depth.
Ground the radio/antenna using a separate copper conductor and ground rod to local code.
Install lightning/power surge protection in Ethernet cable at base of pole and where it enters a building.
Do not overload the tower/mast with multiple or oversized antennas, lighting or cameras.

Keep Alert

Installation of any tower/mast should not be attempted in windy conditions. Don’t raise or lower tower/mast in more than a gentle breeze.
Always stand and work to the sides of the Cheek Plates. No one should stand under or in the path of the tower/mast while it is being assembled, raised, or lowered.
Inspect all tools, winch & accessories, cable, and ladder for wear or damage.
