Section 4
This section provides instructions for installing the mast system and provides the general
procedures that must be followed to ensure a successful installation. Be sure to read and
understand the entire installation procedure and the Safety Summary (Section 1) before
beginning installation.
4.1 Pre-Installation Check
Before installing the mast system, ensure:
•
All installers read and understand the entire installation procedure and are properly
trained.
•
Only a properly trained and qualified certified electrician performs electric installations
and maintenance.
•
The mounting structure is level and has sufficient room and strength to mount the mast
system.
•
All purchased components are included (Section 2.3).
•
All required equipment is readily available (Section 4.3).
Check with The Will-Burt Company's Engineering for additional wind information for customer-
specific loading scenarios.
4.2 Select a Suitable Mounting Location
To select a suitable mounting location, consider the following:
•
Select a flat, level site to deploy the system that has no more than a 2° slope. The
ground should be level and firm.
•
Ensure that the center of the site is approximately 2 sq. ft. and is level and smooth. The
center of the site is where the base tube for the mast will land later in the installation.
•
Select an area free of power lines or other overhead obstructions. Ensure that the site
has adequate overhead and ground clearances. The overhead clearance must be at
least the height of the mast.
•
The ground clearance must be a radius equal to the height of the mast. For example, for
a 12 ft / 3.7 m mast, ensure that the site has an overhead clearance of 12 ft / 3.7 m and
a clear radius of 12 ft / 3.7 m from the center of the site.
