The mast will be erected as indicated in the sketch on the previous page.
This is not a scale drawing but is intended to show how the mast would look when fully
erected.
Three guylines come from each guyline ring. The guylines from the top two rings are
anchored at points close to each other on the ground. These points should ideally be 10
metres from the base of the mast, but not less than 6 metres away. The guylines coming
from the two lower rings are anchored at points close to each other which should be 5 metres
away from the base of the mast but not less than 3 metres.
3.6.3 Erection of 10 Metre Mast
a) Pre-Installation Assembly
(Can be done before going to the installation site)
1. Lay the mast on the ground and extend the sections. You will see that the lower end of
each section has been marked with a cross hatch pattern using a permanent marker pen -
this is to show the maximum safest extension length. Extend the mast sections until the marked
areas are just not visible.
2. Gently finger tighten the guyline rings at the very top of the mast, and at 7.5m, 5m and
2.5m heights. Mark top and bottom position of the guyline ring with a permanent marker
pen (for later reference).
3. Loosen the guyline rings and compress the mast, making sure the screws on the locking
collars are approximately in line (this will aid erection later).
b) Installation On Site
(do not attempt to erect on a windy day)
1. Lay the compressed mast on the ground.
2. Fit the dual wind arm mount to the top of the pole, using the reducing adapter (usually
already fitted into the mounting).
3. Fit the wind sensors to the dual wind arm mount – note the direction of the NORTH sticker
for later positioning. (It will be useful to line up the wind arm mount with locking collar screws
when raising the sections later). Attach the rotor and vane to the wind sensors.
4. Position the mast base plate at the installation spot and secure to ground with pegs (or
bolts as appropriate).
