SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT NOTES
Safety during installation work
When carrying out installation work in locations where there is a risk of falling, take appropriate
safety precautions, e.g. use of a working platform. Make sure that the vehicle roof is suffi ciently
strong and stable to carry out the installation work (risk of damage or collapsing of roof).
In case of doubt, contact a qualifi ed specialist dealer or the manufacturer of your vehicle to fi nd
an appropriate installation location.
Make sure that:
- The turntable and connected units are disconnected from the power supply
- The person carrying out the installation or repair does not suffer from vertigo and can move around
safely on the roof of the caravan or motor home
- The person carrying out the repairs is wearing sturdy and non-slip shoes
- The person carrying out the installation or repair has a secure position to stand and hold on while
working
- The roof and the climbing equipment used (e.g. ladder) are dry, clean and non-slip
- The roof can withstand the weight of the person carrying out the repairs
Caution! Risk of death or injury due to falling or the roof collapsing!
- Nobody should be inside the caravan/motor home underneath the antenna during dismantling/
installation
Caution! Risk of death or injury due to possible roof collapsing and falling parts!
Proper installation and safety
Fundamental information
A crucial safety factor is proper performance of installation and electrical connection work, and the specifi ed
alignment of the turntable in the direction of travel (park position), see also installation and connection.
Heed as precisely as possible the installation conditions and steps described.
Modifi cations to the electrical installations in the vehicle should only be carried out by a specialist in vehicle
electrics. Do not make any unauthorised changes to the turntable.
Adhesive sealant
The turntable is attached to the roof of the vehicle by adhesive and is secured by additional screws.
Note that the curing of the adhesive sealant is temperature-dependent. It reaches its full strength only after
approximately fi ve days.
During installation work, comply strictly with the processing and safety instructions for
the adhesive sealant (Sikafl ex

sheet).
