Installing IFL cables 4–3
RT installation
Depending on the installation location, you may have to hoist the
mount kit, ballast (concrete blocks), IFL cable, and tools to the
rooftop as shown in figure 4-1. Using two or more people for this
task will save considerable time.

WARNING
If you need to hoist materials to the
installation location, observe these
precautions to avoid personal injury:
• Use a rope strong enough to support
all of the materials that need to be
hoisted.
• Never stand under the rope while
materials are being hoisted.
• Hoist one concrete block at a time.
• Pass the rope through the center hole
of each concrete block. If you use the
hole on either end, the end can break
off, allowing the concrete block to fall.
• Be advised that the contents of the
mount kit can fall through the end of
the box if the box is tilted—especially
if the box has been damaged.
• Use a back brace.
If possible, do not hoist the ODU transceiver and antenna on a
rope. If possible, carry these components in a backpack or padded
bag.
