9.2 Guying
Stiletto AL masts are not typically guyed, however light guying is possible and can help with
deflection. Only one level of guying is recommended.
In general, to guy the mast:
1. Prepare the Mast System for Operation (Section 3).
2. Secure the payload to the mast.
3. Attach the Guy Lines to the mast ensuring the Guy Lines do not interfere with any
payload cables or intermediate payloads.
4. Prior to extending the mast, Will-Burt recommends laying out any Guy Lines so they do
not become tangled during extension (Figure 9-1).

5. Extend the mast (Section 3).
6. Properly secure and tension the Guy Lines immediately after raising the mast. The
installer shall verify the Guy Anchor point strength is adequate to support the Guy Line
forces. All Guy Lines should be equally tensioned. Beginning at two locations opposite
each other, gradually tension each Guy Line. Vertical alignment of the mast is
accomplished by observing the mast perpendicularly to the two Guy Lines being
tensioned to ensure the mast is standing straight and is not bending too far towards one
side. Adjust the appropriate Guy Line as necessary to keep the mast plumb vertically.
Check periodically.
