Mast Channels – Lubricate
The channels on the roller-type mast require a
break-in period. Apply a light film of lubricant on the
channels where the rollers ride. This will prevent
metal peel until the rollers set a pattern.

Hot oil and components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to
