Safety Instruction! There is no brake on the EZ Raze™ Option. Ensure that the safety latch is
properly functioning to ensure that when the payload is raised, it cannot fall freely. If the winch
cable ever breaks, quickly get away from the tripod because the payload will drop freely.
33. Pull on the J-hook to unlock the safety latch and spool. Turn the safety latch downward.
Ensure that the safety latch moves freely.
Turn Winch to Raise the Payload
34. Turn the winch handle counterclockwise to raise the payload. Ensure that the carriage
slides smoothly up the shaft of the mast. The mast may bend slightly on the initial lift but
should straighten out quickly. If the mast bends but does not straighten out, the payload
is too heavy. See the specification sheets to ensure you have not overloaded the mast.
For payload weights and wind sail areas outside website specified limits, contact The
Will-Burt company. The payload is fully raised when the carriage roller engages the
spade causing the payload to slightly pivot.
