How to Assemble the Mast

1 Inspect all mast parts for wear and damage,

replace as necessary.

2 Clean all of the columns and rollers.

3 Clean all of the safety brake assemblies.

4 Position the number one column so that it is

open side up and level. If it is not attached to

the base, secure the column to your sawhorses

or work table before proceeding.

5 Install all column assembly components (if

removed during disassembly). Apply a small

amount of grease between the roller bolt head

and the inside of the roller wheel.

6 Slide the number two column into the number

one from the bottom. Stop inserting the column

when the top of the safety brake assembly is

even with the bottom of the number one

column.

7 Repeat with all remaining columns. All columns

should be sticking out of the next lower column.

Do not install the carriage.

Cable is installed after all columns

are together as an assembly.

8 Attach the swagged end of the cable to the

cable anchor on the top of the front column.

9 With the other end of the cable in hand, feed it

through the box section (web) of the carriage

into the pulley and push it through the pulley

until it comes out the back side of the carriage.

Bodily injury hazard. Cables can

fray. Always wear adequate hand

protection when handling cable.

Refer to figure 7-G, in the parts

section to identify the cable

routing.

10 Insert the carriage into the bottom end of the

top column. Hold the carriage from moving and

pull the cable up to the top of the column,

leaving enough slack so that you can feed the

cable through the next pulley.

Part No. 32283

11 Push the cable through the exposed portion of

the pulley at the top of the column until the

cable reaches the pulley at the bottom of the

column.

12 Using needle nose pliers, insert the cable end

into the cable pulley. Push the cable through

the pulley until the end comes out.

13 Push the cable between the two mast sections

until it comes out the top of the column.

14 Repeat steps 11 through 13, until all the

columns are cabled.

15 Slide all the columns forward, until you can

install the column stops. Do not slide the

columns forward, further than necessary.

16 Remove the tape from the hold down latches,

making sure that they move freely.

17 Install all the components removed during

disassembly.

18 Attach the cable to the winch and be sure cable

is routed correctly.

19 Raise all the columns to full height to release

the safety brakes and verify proper operation.
