4. Fit eight M20 x 45 bolts with a spring washer and then a regular washer and place the bolts to
join the 1
st
segment to the tower base plate (see Figure 13). Use WD-40 oil to lubricate the
bolts before placing them into the threaded holes. Fix the bolts cross wise with a torque of
434 Nm, going first 50% and then 100%.
! TIP:
When having trouble getting bolts into
threads, move the mast via gin-pole left to right or front to back. If necessary loosen slightly
pressure on the lifting cable but DO NOT relieve the downward pressure on the gin-pole.
