BASIC TECHNIQUES

RAISING THE TOP MAST

Ensure that security pin on the lower
mast (locking middle mast) is in the
engaged position.
Check, that the steel cable on the
winch is hand tight and not loose.
Rotate winch handle clockwise to
tighten or counter clockwise to
loosen.
Loosen locking Knob.
Pull security pin to release and hold
out in retained position.
Crank winch clockwise to raise upper
mast to the desired height.
Release security pin into one of the
positioning holes on top mast.
Tighten the locking knob for
additional security.

RAISING THE MIDDLE MAST

Ensure that security pin on the middle mast (locking top
mast) is in the engaged position, then check, that the steel
cable on the winch is hand tight and not loose.
Loosen locking knob.
Pull security pin to release and hold out in retained position.
Crank winch clockwise to raise the second mast to the
desired height.
Release security pin into one of the positioning holes on
the middle mast.
Tighten the locking knob for additional security.
Ensure, that the steel cable is hand tight and not loose.

LOWERING OF THE HEADS

(reversing the lifting procedure)
Before releasing anything, ensure that the winch cable is
tight. Release the locking pins and knobs in a reverse
sequence as in the lifting procedure. Rotating the winch
handle counter-clockwise lowers the load. The winch is
auto-braking. Stopping the handle rotation stops the
lowering. Watch the Heads carefully to avoid touching or
getting hooked on any obstacles.
If the head will not lower check that the mast locks are not
engaged. Ensure the winch line is holding the load then
disengage the locks fully. You can now continue to lower
the mast.

TRANSPORT POSITION

The steel cable must be correctly and completely rolled
up to avoid any crushing of the fibres. The stand can be
transported in a vertical or horizontal position.

Never push the equipment beyond its design limits. If it
will not do what you want with reasonable ease and speed,
assume you have the wrong equipment for the job. Contact
HSS Hire for advice.
Lower mast
If the bulbs fail, do not attempt to replace or fix them,
contact HSS Hire for advice.
Keep the equipment clean - you will find this less of a
chore if you clean it regularly, rather than wait until the end
of the hire period.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and secure.
Disconnect the equipment from power supply and
lower the heads.
The law requires that personnel using this type of equipment in
the workplace must be competent and qualified to do so.
