Assembling the Mast

1. For a CT-22/33/44/55:
a. Slide the included hose clamp over the bottom of the
mast tube.
b. Insert the mast into either the right or left mast
pocket of the lower support bracket.
c. Raise the hose clamp to the bottom of the upper sup-
port bracket and tighten the clamp. This prevents the
mast from lifting out of the mast pocket.
