1.6. Mast
Masts should be regularly inspected for water tightness and diamond wire
wear. Make sure fittings are sealed with silicone. Replace wires that show
any signs of wear. Check diamond wire attachment points, turn buckles and
seizing wire. These areas could cause serious mast failure!
1.6.1. Mast base and diamond wires
Step 1.
Take the mast base, brass diamond adjuster block, the diamond adjuster bolt
and metal washer, diamond wires and grease out of the box. It is preferable
to place the mast on supports, this makes it easier to build the mast.
Step 2.
Grease the threads of the diamond wires and turn one diamond wire in the
brass diamond adjuster block. When the diamond wire is fixed, place a ring
at the bottom. Make sure that the brass diamond adjuster block is facing the
right way! The brass diamond adjuster block should be able to slide into the
mast correctly and the diamond wires should be diverging upwards (see pic-
tures of step 2 and 3!!).
