7. Remove the lower mast bearings from the platform mast.
8. Raise the platform mast straight up and off of the remaining mast sections. using a suitable hoisting
device.
9. Lay the chain that was detached from the platform mast over the top of the upper cylinder mount (7),
and place it down inside the second inner mast section.
10. Repeat steps 4 - 7 on the second inner mast section (3) and inner sequence rope. The lower
mast bearings are removed by unscrewing the two screws on each bearing. Note, you will also have to
remove the sequence rope pulley wheel assembly.
11. The upper chain set may now be removed by detaching the upper chain/inner pulley mounts from the
first inner mast section (1). Carefully set the chain set aside on a clean surface.

Installation of the elevating assembly is the reverse of removal.
Torque the nine bolts that retain the base mast section to 68N-m (50 ft-lbs).
For all of the cap screws that attach the chain anchors to the mast sections, apply Loctite 242 to the
screw threads and torque to 12N-m (107 in-lbs).
For all of the screws that attach the mast bearings, apply Loctite Retainer #405 to the screw threads.
Do not torque, simply tighten securely.
Adjust the chain and sequence rope tensions as described in this section, ensure that the chain
tensioner locknuts are correctly tightened and the tensioner bolt threads are visible through the inspection
holes in the tensioner blocks.
Check elevating assembly for proper operation.
