Operation
This section describes operation of the Mast System. The exact operating procedures will vary
based on the configuration of your Mast System. Follow the appropriate operation procedures
for your Mast System. This section assumes the mast is not guyed. See Section 9.2 for
information pertaining to guying of the mast. Use care to understand and follow all precautions
while operating.
3.1 Pre-Operation Check
Before operating the system, ensure:
•
All operators read and understand the entire operation procedure
•
The Mast System is properly installed and undamaged.

The payload is properly installed. The payload should be bolted to the mast using the six
M8x1.25 threaded holes in the top of the Top Tube Ring with high strength bolts and the
appropriate thread locker. The six 8.2mm through holes on the side can be used for
additional bolts, quick release pins or a tether for additional payload security. Please
contact Will-Burt Engineering to determine if your application requires these precautions.
•
The Mast System is undamaged. If damage is apparent, do not use the Mast System,
and have it serviced prior to use.
