DANGER — MANY HAZARDS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH INSTALLING, USING, MAINTAINING,
AND WORKING ON OR AROUND TRIPODS, TOWERS, AND ANY ATTACHMENTS TO TRIPODS
AND TOWERS SUCH AS SENSORS, CROSSARMS, ENCLOSURES, ANTENNAS, ETC. 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. Be familiar and comply with all instructions provided in
product manuals. Manuals are available at www.campbellsci.com or by telephoning 435-227-
9000 (USA). 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 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.
