Unpack the Mast System

During installation, it will be necessary to lift the mast. The process described in this manual
represents a possible method of lifting the mast. Depending on the environment and equipment
available, other methods may work better. Use the best and safest method for your
circumstances.
Safety Instruction – Observe Proper Procedures! Use extreme caution while lifting the Mast
System and when Mast System is suspended to avoid injury and equipment damage. Be certain
the Mast System is properly secured. All operators should be aware of and follow the applicable
local, regional, and national standards and codes of practice for slinging and transporting
equipment. Never lift the Mast System over people. Ensure lifting equipment including, but not
limited to, lifting straps and hoist, are capable of handling the forces generated from lifting the
system. Observe manufacturer instructions on lifting equipment. Death or serious injury could
result if proper procedures are not followed.
Unpack the system as follows:
1. Carefully open the shipping crate.
2. Inspect for any shipping damage. Notify the carrier if damage is evident.
3. Remove all loose components.
4. Remove the top half of the wooden saddles that secure the mast in place (Figure 2-5).
5. Outfit the mast with a sling and hoist capable of supporting the mast weight. The sling
must support the mast from at least two points. Attach the sling at the center of gravity
label so that horizontal balance and control can be maintained while positioning the
mast. Use care not to damage or crush the Fully Extended Limit Switch or Fully
Extended Limit Switch Cable while transporting the mast. The base tube collar can be
used to support the mast weight during installation.
Note: Will-Burt also offers the optional Lift Bracket (P/N: 4674901) to aid in lifting and
transporting the mast vertically during installation.
