Step 3 - Lift the mast using hoisting tools. A tow motor or hoist rated for at least 3,000lbs is required.
While lifting the mast, use caution to ensure that wires and connectors are not pinched.
(See Fig. 2-5a)
Once the machine is fully upright, one individual can stabilize the mast while a second individual
fastens the four M10 bolts to secure the mast to the base. The M10 bolts are to be tightened to
30ft/lbs of torque.
