Attach the boom-to-mast plate (PO 1 P) and the vertical guy support 

 at the boom center using

2” U-bolts, saddles and hardware as shown in Figure 2A. Be sure to slip the 2” U-bolt for attaching the guy
support over the boom before securing the mast plate 

Slide the 

 ends of the intermediate boom sections (T3 

 6” into the slotted ends of the center

boom sections. Secure with 2” U-bolts, saddles and hardware as shown in Figure 2B.

Slide the 

 ends of the end booms sections 

 5” into the slotted ends of the intermediate

boom section and secure in the same manner as above. The overall length of the boom should be
approximately 370”. If not, adjust the end sections equally until the overall length is at least 370”.
