4.3 Unpacking and Handling

Unpack and handle the mast as follows:
1. Carefully open shipping crate.
2. Remove all loose parts, the 2 x 4 inch (38 x 89 mm) block at the top end of the mast and
the top half of the wooden mast saddles (Figure 4-1).
3. Ensure all components are included and that the required tools are readily available.
4. Inspect for any shipping damage. If damage has occurred, notify the carrier.
5. Carefully lift the mast free from the crate and move the mast into the desired position.
The Will-Burt Company recommends keeping the shipping crate for transporting the mast, for
example if shipping the mast back to the factory for refurbishment.

4.4 Select a Suitable Mounting Location

To select a suitable mounting location, consider the following:
•
Make sure the vehicle is on a flat, level area.
•
The mounting structure must be level, solid, and capable of holding the forces required
by the bolts. Check the strength and rigidity of the mounting structure (e.g. vehicle body)
where the mast system is to be attached. Reinforce as necessary.
•
Check for internal wiring and obstructions in the body where the mast is to be attached.
The mounting area must have sufficient room to mount the mast system.
•
Select an area free of power lines or other overhead obstructions. The mast should be
located no closer than a horizontal distance equal to the extended height of the mast
away from any power lines. The ground should be level and firm.
•
The area underneath the floor must be free of obstructions to allow for accessibility to
base plate fasteners, and if present and used, the bottom air inlet port.
