FOLD OVER MODELS
Some models of Larson Electronics' masts are so lightweight that they
do not have a spring to assist in folding over. These are known as push
over models.
Push over models must be manually folded over with and without a
headload.

In order for the spring on fold over models to activate, a headload of at
least 15 lb is required.
If the spring does not activate due to insufficient headload:
1. Unwind the fold over winch two times.
2. Apply pressure to help the mast fold over.
3. Resume cranking the winch to lower the mast.
