SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT NOTES
Checks before commencing a journey
• Before commencing a journey, the antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position
(park position). If the antenna collides with a fi xed or moving object, you must check that it is still
securely attached.
•
As the antenna is subjected to vibration loads during driving, you should check at regular intervals,
depending on the frequency of driving, that the system is still securely attached and tighten any parts
that have worked loose.
•
The maximum permissible speed for vehicles with a receiver unit mounted on the roof is 130 km/h.
•
Lower the antenna if it will not be used for a long period. This makes the securing bolts more diffi cult to
access (protection against theft).
Safety precautions during installation
During installation of the turntable, make sure that no persons, in particular children, are in the immediate
vicinity of the turntable and that they cannot touch any moving parts – danger of crushing!
Always unplug the power supply during installation work.
Antenna in the park position whilst driving
The antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position (park position) while driving.
As a reminder, please attach the sticker from the supplementary sheet “Lower the CAP 900 antenna while
driving” where it can easily be seen by the person operating the ignition switch.
In addition the instructions in the installation and operating manuals for these devices
and for the attachments and superstructures must be complied with at all times!
Exceeding the normal vehicle height by failing to lower the antenna increases the risk
of accidents! The driver is responsible for the condition of the superstructure and
external fi ttings!
If stormy weather is expected, the turntable must always be moved to the park position,
otherwise both the CAP 900 and the vehicle may be damaged.
