To disassemble the mast, proceed as follows:
1.
If the mast is guyed, slightly loosen the guy ropes to relieve any tension or binding that may exist be
-
tween the mast tubes.
2.
Loosen the lower clamp, lift up on the base tube enough to allow it to be removed (if using winch, crank
clockwise to raise). Tighten the lower clamp of the tripod onto the next tube of the mast. Remove the
base tube.
3.
While holding the exposed portion of the tube (held by the lower clamp), loosen the lower clamp and
ease the tube down to where the tube is free from the lower clamp. Allow the next tube to slowly lower until
it enters the lower clamp and a hands-width of tube is exposed. Tighten the lower clamp and remove the
free tube from under the tripod. If using winch, rotate handle counter clockwise to lower.
4.
If accessories are installed on the tube, disassemble the accessories and place in the bags.
5.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining tubes until all the tubes have been removed (except for the top
tube). Place the tubes in the tube bag.
6.
Remove the ground stakes from the tripod base plate and place them in the guy bag.
7.
Loosen the clamps on the tripod legs and allow the legs to retract within themselves, bringing the mast
to a comfortable working height.
8.
Detach the guy line hooks from the guy collar on the top tube.
9.
Detach the guy line hooks from the stakes. Wind the guy line around the tensioner. Remove the
stakes. Place the guy lines and stakes in the guy bag.
10.
Remove the 4-way guy collar or the accessory guy collar from the top tube and place the guy collar
and top tube in a bag.
11.
Pull the spring loaded pin on the tripod and fold up the tripod for transport.
12.
Remove the base plates from the tripod. Place the tripod and base plates in a bag.

1.
Inspect nuts and bolts.
2.
Inspect all clamps for cracks or uneven wear.
3.
Inspect the tripod for uneven wear.
4.
Inspect all guy lines for frayed or cut lines.
5.
Inspect guy handles for cracks or tears.
6.
Wipe down all parts with a cloth
