When lowering the tower, simply crank the
winch in the . opposite directiontt: Constantly
check the upper section cables to make sure
they remain taut as the tower is lowered.
A good way to tell is by watching the raising
cable. If any of the cables become slack at any
location, STOP. The tower section is binding
up and must be cleared before lowering
continues.
'' CAUTION:
When cranking the tower down, make sure ;
all sections lower simultaneously.
A second person should watch the lowering
se.ience carefullyto make sure all sections of
the tower lower together.
To correct these problems, crank the tower
back up until the cable is tight. A soft, rubber
faced hammer can be used on the tower legs
while lowering the tower to jar the obstruction
free. If you use a rubber mallet, tap only on the
tower leg where the bracing meets the leg and
tap as far up on the bottom section as you can
reach. NEVER TAP ON ANY TOWER
BRACING! See Figure 15.
