Install Payload - Will Burt Stiletto AL 4-Meter Operating Instructions Manual

2.9 Install Payload

The exact installation procedures for payload will vary based on the customer-specific payload
and any adaptor being used. For optimal performance, center the payload as best as possible. If
the payload will be offset a significant amount, contact The Will-Burt Company. Contact The
Will-Burt Company with any questions before performing any installation procedures.
Payload Lifting Hazard! Do not exceed specified payload capacity. Do not use mast to lift
personnel. The mast is intended to lift a specific payload for lighting, surveillance or
communication use only. Any other use without written consent is prohibited and could cause
death or serious injury.
Safety Instruction – Mounting Instructions! Before operation, be certain the mounting
structure is capable of resisting forces generated from all loading and environmental conditions
including, but not limited to payload size and weight, sail size, and wind and ice loading. The
mounting hardware must include proper means to resist vibration loosening such as thread-
locking compound or locking hardware. Mounting the payload into a structure unable to resist
the forces generated from the customer-specific loading scenario could result in death or
serious injury, and could damage the mast and mounting structure.
Safety Instruction – Payload Mounting! The payload shall be bolted to the mast using all six
of the provided mounting holes using proper thread locking techniques such as lock washers
and locking compound.
Relocation Hazard! The payload must be supported or removed prior to driving the vehicle to
prevent damage to the mast and payload. Remove any payload tie down or locking features
before operating the mast. Do not move the mast while it is being raised or lowered.
Safety Instruction – Mast Access! The operator must provide safe means to access the top of
the mast during installation and removal of the payload.
In general, to install the payload:
1. Ensure power is removed from the Mast System while installing the payload to eliminate
the possibility of inadvertent mast extension.
2. Carefully move the payload into position.
