Installing the Manual/Power Mast
Mast mounting
bracket
The mounting plate is used for installing the manual mast or the shock
mount for the Power Mast.
This is an example of one of the many brackets that Leica Geosystems
provide to mount masts on blades of dozers and graders
The bracket is designed to be welded on to the machine, at a convenient
location where the mast can be installed. The manual mast or shock
mount is then bolted on to the mounting bracket.
When installing a Power Mast with shock mount on the bracket, take care
to install the mast mounting bracket facing the right way. The cable
connectors on the Power Mast should face the opposite way of the small
hole for direction indication (C) on the bracket.
On a dozer where the mast is mounted at the front of the machine, the
connectors face backwards and the mast mounting bracket should be
installed with the small hole for direction indication (C) pointing forwards.
On a scraper blade where the mast is mounted behind the tractor, the
connectors should face forwards and the mast mounting bracket should
be installed with the small hole for direction indication (C) pointing back-
wards.
