Section 3
This section describes operation of the D-TEC. The exact operating procedures may vary based
on the configuration of your mast system. Follow the appropriate operation procedures for your
mast system. See the operator's manual for your mast system for information on the operation
on your specific mast. Use case to understand and follow all precautions while operating.

3.1 Pre-Operation Check

Before operating the system, ensure:

All operators read and understand the entire operation procedure

The D-TEC is properly installed

The D-TEC is undamaged. If damage is apparent, do not use the D-TEC and have it
serviced prior to use.

All electrical cables are undamaged and properly terminated

The vehicle is not moving

Ensure the following precautions are understood and followed:
Safety Instruction – Operation! Before beginning operation, make certain that the area is free
of overhead power lines and other unwanted sources of electricity. Follow OSHA safety
regulations when working near energized power lines. Your attention is directed to the OSHA
electrical safety requirements in 29 C.F.R. part 1910. Be sure to allow sufficient clearance on all
sides of mast to allow for side sway.
Safety Instruction – Operation! If the D-TEC unit is damaged or collides with any obstructions,
remove unit immediately and return to the Will-Burt Company for re-calibration. Operating a
damaged unit can cause death or serious injury. Do not use unit in a damaged condition.
Safety Hazard! Any one or all safety features provided can fail to operate at any time. The
system is not a substitute for common sense and proper safety procedures. Tampering with the
Sensor or Display electronics will void warranty.
Relocation Hazard! Relocating the mast during operation or after extension could result in
death or serious injury. Do not relocate the mast during operation or while extended. This
applies especially to masts mounted to vehicles. Operate the mast only if the vehicle is
stationary and the vehicle engine is off.
