5.3.3 Lowering the Mast

To lower the mast:
1. Ensure the payload will have enough clearance when nested.
2. Unlock the lowest tube collar. To unlock the collar, securely grip the tube just above the
bottom collar. Loosen the knob on the collar and carefully lower that tube (Figure 5-3).
Take care not to pinch your fingers between the collars as the tube is lowered. The mast
will retract by its own weight and the weight of the payload.

3. Once the tube is fully lowered, relock the collar. To relock the collar, tighten the knob.
4. Unlock the next lowest tube collar. Once the next tube is fully lowered, relock the tube
collar. Do this procedure for every tube until all tubes are fully lowered and collars are
locked.
Note: Stand clear of the top load so it does not hit you as it is lowered.
5. Maintain visual contact with the mast during retraction to avoid payload hang-ups.
