You are advised to hire a professional satellite dish installer to carry out the installation on your behalf. Your satellite service
provider can refer you to a specialist installer if required. In the event that you decide to install it yourself then you should first
carefully read the contents of this disclaimer notice, the information set out below on use of a ladder and the contents of the
Installation Guide.
It is assumed and stressed that you are familiar with good, safe ladder practice and that you are familiar with all tools,
components and terms used. If you have any doubt about your ability to carry out such work competently and safely, the
work should be referred to a specialist installer from your Service Partner.
This is particularly important if you are elderly or not fit enough, or suffer from giddiness or aren't confident with heights - think
about getting someone else to do it for you. Do not use a ladder if you tire easily, are pregnant, are subject to fainting spells or are
using medications or alcohol that makes you dizzy or drowsy.
The performance of a dish is not affected by whether it is located higher up or lower down on a building, as long as the line of sight
with the satellite is not affected. You should always check the place to install the dish yourself in order not to over-estimate
your abilities.
When using a ladder, place the base of the ladder on a firm, level, and dry surface. If there is a time when this is not possible -
working on grass, for instance - tie the feet of the ladder to stakes in the ground to stop it slipping, and place a large flat wooden
board underneath to help prevent it sinking.
Remember that the overall length of a ladder is not the same as its usable length: allow one meter of ladder length above the
highest rung you use. Never stand on the top three rungs. Never put a ladder on top of boxes, bricks, barrels or any other
unstable surface just to gain extra height. If you plan to climb onto a roof or platform from your ladder, be sure the ladder
extends above the edge at least three feet.
Don't reach too far forwards or sideways, or stand with one foot on the ladder and the other one on something else. Move
the ladder to avoid overstretching, and re-secure it whenever necessary, however frustrating that might be! Wear strong, flat shoes
or boots, with dry soles and a good grip (no sandals, slip-ons or bare feet). Make sure a door is locked, blocked or guarded by
someone if you are up a ladder in front of it.
Any ladder can develop a problem, which can render it unsafe. Before using your ladder, inspect it. Stepladders should be fully
opened with the spreaders locked. Straight ladders should be placed at a four-to-one ratio. This means the base of the ladder
should be one foot away from the wall or other vertical surface for every four feet of height to the point of support. Always face the
ladder and hold on with both hands. If you need tools, carry them in a tool belt or raise and lower them with a hand line.
Don't use a ladder in a strong wind and never near any power lines. Don't drill holes through walls with risk of hitting gas
or water pipes, or electrical wires. In any case, never allow any child under 16 to use or play with your tools or a ladder.
Keep infants and toddlers out of reach of small parts such as screws, bolts and plastic bags that may endanger their life.
REMEMBER: It is your responsibility to check if your local laws place home owners under an obligation to install a satellite dish in
such a way that minimizes its impact on the external appearance of the building, and to remove it when it is no longer needed.
Reasonable care should be taken to avoid damage to yourself or third parties.
If you fall from the ladder, calmly assess the situation and determine if you are hurt. Get up slowly, however, if you feel that your
injury will prevent standing and walking call for assistance. If the injury is at all serious, call the emergency number in your area. If
you are not injured, regain your composure before climbing again.
