Mast Extension Procedures

To extend the mast:
1. Prepare the mast system for operation (Section 6.3.1).
2. Remove the mast top cover.
3. Secure the payload to the mast (Section 5.13).
4. If guy lines are used, attach the guy lines to the payload platform or appropriate collar lugs.
5. Prior to extending the mast, The Will-Burt Company recommends laying out any guy lines so
they do not become tangled during extension (Figure 6-2).

6. If guy lines are used, find the ground anchor locations and install the ground anchors.
7. Ensure the payload will have enough clearance as the mast is extended.
