intended for general use by the public or untrained personnel. Handling, installation, operation
and maintenance to be performed by trained and authorized personnel only. Only a properly
trained and qualified certified electrician should perform electric installations and service.
Erratic Mast Operation Impact Hazard! The mast should operate smoothly during extension
and retraction. If erratic mast motion is observed during extension or retraction that results in
impact loading between the tube and the tube collar (mechanical travel stop), cease use of the
mast and contact The Will-Burt Company service department. Repeated operation with impact
loading can damage tubes and lead to mast separation.
Over-current Protection! Over-current protection or power switching by the installer on mast
incoming power supply as specified in this document should be a type suitable to allow lock-out
tag-out procedures for power disconnect.
Safety Instruction - Explosion! For outdoor use only. Do not use in explosive areas or areas
that have been classified as hazardous as defined in Article 500 of the National Electric Code or
equivalent national standards. Do not use in the presence of flammable gases or liquids such as
paint, gasoline or solvents. Do not use in areas of limited ventilation or where high ambient
temperatures are present.
Safety Equipment (PPE)! Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) like hard hats, gloves,
and safety shoes shall be properly worn while working on mast or near the deployment area of
mast. In addition, eye protection shall be worn during maintenance procedures. Follow national
PPE guidelines in your area of operation.
Pinch Point Hazard! Keep clear of all moving parts like mast collars nesting. Be sure to stay
clear of system during operation. Moving parts can crush and cut resulting in serious injury. The
mast shall be mounted out of reach of the operator during operation.
Crush Hazard - Mast Failure! Do not stand directly beneath mast or its payload. Be certain the
payload is properly installed and secured.
Entanglement Hazard! Tangled cables can cause equipment damage. Ensure payload cables,
Nycoil®, trip lines, guy lines or other cables are not tangled and are free to pay out as mast is
deployed. Cables that get tangled or snagged on mast or other objects can cause mast tubes to
lurch upward suddenly when the cable is freed. This can cause damage to mast and lead to mast
separation if repeatedly allowed to continue.
