Confirm that the cable is taut and
the cam lock is locked.
Person #2 should go to the guy rope that is 90 degrees from person #1.
This will allow you to see how far each guy rope needs to be adjusted to

Incremental guying. This may be
required to deploy the last few
mast poles.
Incremental Guying: Loosen the guy ropes based on the length of the mast pole below the cam lock.
EXAMPLE: If the length of the pole under the cam lock is one foot - slide the handle back one foot on each of the
four primary guy ropes. This will allow you enough room to raise the mast pole.
Raise the mast until one inch is
showing below the cam lock and
lock the cam lock.
Lower the lift base plate, insert a
mast pole and raise it until the
poles nest together.
One at a time, slowly loosen the primary guy ropes by holding the guy
rope in front of the handle and sliding the handle back approx. four feet
Doing this will give you enough slack to add another mast pole.
NOTE: The mast will lean, but will
straighten up as you raise the next
mast pole.
Release the cam lock and raise
the mast until the four primary
guy ropes go taut.
Repeat this process until you
reach the last center mast pole.
Lower the last center mast pole to
the ground and lock the cam
lock.
Adjust the 4 primary guy ropes
and make sure the mast is straight
and perpendicular.
Lock the primary guy ropes by pulling a small amount of slack in. Use
your finger and loop the guy rope over the two hooks of the guy handle.
Pull the guy handle towards the mast to remove any slack in the rope.
Helpful Hint: If there are high winds or you are having difficulty holding /
locking the rope into place, one person can hold the guy rope in front of
the handle and the other person can lock the guy rope into place.
Adjust and lock the four secondary
guy ropes.
Drive two stakes into the two holes
on the lift base plate and make
sure the cam lock is lock.
