6.2 - Inspection (continued)
any fasteners have appeared to “back-out” or loosen the product should be removed from service until the problem
can be identifi ed and corrected.
3. Leveling Pegs:
Ensure that the Leveling Screws are in working condition. Oil or grease the threaded portions if required, and at
least annually. Also, visually inspect and verify that both the internal and external threads of the leveling screw
system do not contain an inordinate amount of debris or metal shavings and have not been otherwise damaged.
4. Structure:
The entire product structure should be checked for cracks, dents, bends or breaks. If there are major dents or any
other structural damage, the unit should be removed from service and returned to the factory for evaluation and
possible repair. If there is any question as to the structural integrity of the product, remove form service immediately
and await further evaluation by a qualifi ed organization or individual.
• Pay attention to the bearing collars in the middle section. Ensure that they are present within the tower receiver
and that they are damage free.
• Pay special attention to weld locations: look for cracks or separation at the welds. Keep in mind that the powder
coating can age and crack, this normal paint cracking can be confused with structural cracking. If there is any
uncertainty with regards to cracks, contact the Pelsue service department for assistance and/or recommenda-
tions
• Ensure that the two sections of the tower can move freely within one another when stood vertically and not sup-
porting a load.
