Section 6
This section describes the best practice for long-term storage (longer than one month) of the
Mast System.
Safety Instruction – Mast Access! The operator must provide safe means to access the top of
the mast during removal of the payload.
When putting the system into long-term storage, ensure the:
•
Mast is fully nested
•
Payload is removed
•
Mast System is clean. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris only serves to collect additional dirt
during storage. Use denatured alcohol on all metal surfaces. Use water when cleaning
rubber or plastic material. Use soap and water when cleaning the exterior surfaces of the
mast tubes. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to wipe clean the bezel on the Universal
Control Box display.
•
Inspect the condition of the mast finish. Look for bare metal, rust, and corrosion.
•
Inspect external fasteners. Look for loose, missing, bent, or broken fasteners. Look for
chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around the bolt heads. Pay particular attention to the
fastener securing the Mast System to the mounting surface, the mast to the Drive
Assembly, the Motor to the Drive Assembly, and the payload to the mast.
•
Inspect Mast System cables. Look for cracked, frayed, or broken insulation; bare wires;
loose or broken connectors. Ensure the cables and bulkhead connectors are clean, the
pins undamaged, and the threads in good condition.
Once the Mast System has been inspected and repaired, it should be stored:
•
In a clean and dry indoor environment
•
Out of direct sunlight
•
In the shipping crate. If necessary, replacement shipping crates may be ordered.
•
Between
0°C to 32°C (32°F to 90°F)
If the Mast System is stored for a period of time greater than five years, the mast is to be
inspected by a factory-trained technician before operation.
