Section 4
Before transporting the Mast System, the Mast System needs to be secured. The exact
procedures for transportation will vary based on the Mast System configuration. The process
described in this manual represents a possible method of transporting the mast. Depending on
the environment and equipment available, other methods may work better. Use the best and
safest method for your circumstances.
Relocation Hazard! Do not relocate the system during operation or while mast is extended. Do
not move vehicle until the mast has been securely nested. This applies especially to vehicle-
mounted masts. 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.
Safety Instruction – Mast Access! The operator must provide safe means to access the top of
the mast during installation and removal of the payload.
4.1 General Transportation
To prepare the Mast System for transportation:
1. Ensure the mast is fully nested. Do not transport the Mast System with the mast and
payload extended. Always visually confirm the mast is fully retracted before moving the
mast. Please contact Will-Burt Engineering for special circumstances for transportation
without the mast nested for military use only.
2. The vehicle interlock circuit should confirm the mast is nested and disconnect power to
the unit before moving the vehicle.
3. If used, ensure the optional master power switch is off to eliminate the possibility of
inadvertent mast extension.
4. Ensure the payload is removed, supported, or otherwise isolated from the Top Tube to
prevent damage to the mast and payload. Consult Will-Burt Engineering for applications
where the payload is not removed or supported.
5. If necessary, secure any additional components in the Mast System.
Note: The operator should always visually confirm the mast is entirely retracted before moving
the vehicle.
