Section 5
This section provides instructions for disassembling the mast system and provides the general
procedures that must be followed to ensure a successful disassembly. Be sure to read and
understand the entire installation procedure and the Safety Summary (Section 1) before
beginning disassembly.
5.1 Disassemble the Mast
To disassemble the mast, proceed as follows:
1. Slightly loosen the guy ropes to relieve any tension or binding that may exist between
the mast tubes.
2. After making certain that the lock of the lower clamps is unlocked, lift up on the base
tube enough to allow it to be removed. Lock the lower clamp of the tripod onto the next
tube of the mast. Remove the base tube.
3. While holding the exposed portion of the tube (locked by the lower clamp), unlock the
lower clamp and ease the tube down to where the tube is free from the lower clamp.
Allow the next tube to slowly lower until it enters the lower clamp and a hand width of
tube is exposed. Lock the lower clamp and remove the free tube from under the tripod.
4. If accessories are installed on the tube, disassemble the accessories and place into the
appropriate bags.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for the remaining tubes until all the tubes have been removed
(except for the top tube). Place the tubes into the tube bag.
6. Remove the guy stakes from the tripod base plate and place them into the guy bag.
7. Unlock the tripod legs and allow the legs to retract within themselves, bringing the mast
to a comfortable working height.
8. Detach the guy line hooks from the guy collar on the top tube.
9. Detach the guy line hooks from the stakes. Wind the guy line around the tensioner.
Remove the stakes. Place the guy lines and stakes into the guy bag.
10. Remove the 4-way guy collar or the accessory guy collar from the top tube and place the
guy collar and top tube into appropriate bags.
11. Unlock the upper clamp on the transport and fold up the tripod.
12. Remove the base plates from the tripod. Place the tripod and base plates into wheeled
bag.
13. Store all bags and components into the wheeled bag.
