Connecting the Lifting Rod to the Mast
The delivery contains the lifting rod that is used, with the winch, to erect
and tilt the upper parts of the mast. The clamps are preinstalled at the
factory to the pedestal tube and to the first part of the mast. The clamp on
the lifting rod has hooks and taps to ease the installation. The stainless
steel bolts are included in the "Lifting Rod Assembly Set". To attach the
lifting rod to the first part of the mast:
1. Place the lifting rod (number 3 in Figure 15 below) to the first part
of the mast (4).
2. Make sure that both taps on the clamp go into the railing and the
hooks at the end of the clamp go firmly around the opposite clamp.
3. Install the Allen bolts with the washers and tighten them with an
Allen key (6 mm).
