FAILURE TO PROPERLY AND COMPLETELY ASSEMBLE, INSTALL, OPERATE, USE, AND MAINTAIN TRIPODS, TOWERS, AND ATTACHMENTS, AND FAILURE TO HEED WARNINGS, INCREASES THE RISK OF DEATH, ACCIDENT, SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND PRODUCT FAILURE. TAKE ALL REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID THESE HAZARDS. CHECK WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION'S SAFETY COORDINATOR (OR POLICY) FOR PROCEDURES AND REQUIRED PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY WORK. Use tripods, towers, and attachments to tripods and towers only for purposes for which they are designed. Do not exceed design limits.

You are responsible for conformance with governing codes and regulations, including safety regulations, and the integrity and location of structures or land to which towers, tripods, and any attachments are attached. Installation sites should be evaluated and approved by a qualified personnel (e.g. engineer). If questions or concerns arise regarding installation, use, or maintenance of tripods, towers, attachments, or electrical connections, consult with a licensed and qualified engineer or electrician. General  Prior to performing site or installation work, obtain required approvals and permits.  Use only qualified personnel for installation, use, and maintenance of tripods and towers, and any attachments to tripods and towers. The use of licensed and qualified contractors is highly recommended.  Read all applicable instructions carefully and understand procedures thoroughly before beginning work.  Wear a hardhat and eye protection, and take other appropriate safety precautions while working on or around tripods and towers.  Do not climb tripods or towers at any time, and prohibit climbing by other persons. Take reasonable precautions to secure tripod and tower sites from trespassers.  Use only manufacturer recommended parts, materials, and tools.

Electrical equipment and related grounding devices should be installed by a licensed and qualified electrician. Elevated Work and Weather  Exercise extreme caution when performing elevated work.  Use appropriate equipment and safety practices.  During installation and maintenance, keep tower and tripod sites clear of un-trained or non- essential personnel. Take precautions to prevent elevated tools and objects from dropping.  Do not perform any work in inclement weather, including wind, rain, snow, lightning, etc. Maintenance  Periodically (at least yearly) check for wear and damage, including corrosion, stress cracks, frayed cables, loose cable clamps, cable tightness, etc. and take necessary corrective actions.  Periodically (at least yearly) check electrical ground connections.
