Primary and Secondary Guying (2 - 15 Meters)
WARNING: If you experience excessive leaning during the deployment due to heavier
loads or high winds then be sure to use incremental guying as outlined in step 15.
19. Incremental Guying may be required when less than two people are available to
hold the primary guy ropes during deployment with heavy loads or high winds.
Heavy loads or windy conditions can exert extra force on the center mast poles during de-
ployment causing them to bind in the tripod and create potentially unsafe conditions. Ex-
cessive leaning during deployment is an indicator that incremental guying is required.
When these conditions exist, it will be necessary to incrementally guy the mast during de-
ployment before reaching the desired height. Incremental guying will add time to the de-
ployment but will ensure the safety of both personnel and equipment
A. Start with the guy rope that is opposite the direction that the mast may be leaning.
B. Pull on the knotted end of the rope stay until you have removed enough slack from the
line to allow only the insertion of a single mast pole.
C. Tie a slip knot in the slack to prevent the line from pulling back through the hole on the
rope stay.
D. Adjust the guy rope by sliding the rope stay towards the mast to tighten and away from
the mast to loosen.
E. Adjust the remaining 3 primary guy ropes the same way to allow for only enough slack for
a single mast pole to be inserted.
F. Continue raising the mast sections utilizing incremental guying until the full height has
been achieved.
