Per the ANSI Z535.4 standard, the following signal words and denitions are used to indicate
hazardous situations:
DANGER
indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury. It is also used to alert against
unsafe practices.
Lifting Hazard! In the UK, all lifting equipment must be thoroughly exam-
ined annually by a competent person according to the Lifting Operations
and Lift Equipment Regulations 1998. Equivalent regulations exist in
other EU states.
Safety Instruction – Follow Procedure! Failure to follow drain kit installa-
tion instructions could damage the mast and render the mast inoperable.
Read and understand the installation instructions before installing the
drain kit.
Do not deploy the mast if power lines are less than 80 ft. (24.4 m) from
the center of the deployment site.
Do not attempt to deploy the mast on soft or loose soil. The base plate
and guy stakes could become unstable under wind loading and cause the
mast to fall.
Do not attempt to deploy or retrieve this mast during electrical storms or
when winds exceed 20 mph.
The mast must be vertical before deployment. Adjust guy lines as required
until the bubble level indicates the mast is vertical.
Helmets or hard hats, eye protection, gloves, and safety shoes or combat
boots must be worn while working in the mast deployment area.
Throughout this document safety precautions that are related to specic procedures appear in this
publication for emphasis. These are recommended precautions that personnel must understand
and apply during specic phases of installation, operation and maintenance.

Do not attempt to deploy the tripod on ground that slopes more than 2
degrees.
Always observe weight lift limits.
Be mindful of buried cables when staking the mast.
Tip Over Hazard!
Mast tip over could result in death or serious injury. Do
not operate in high winds. Operate on level ground only. Stand clear of mast
and mast payload during operation. Be certain that the mast is level and
secure before and during installation, operation and maintenance.
Safety Instruction -
Trained Personnel Only! Death or serious injury could
result if proper inspection, installation, operation and maintenance pro-
cedures are not observed. Installation, operation and maintenance to be
performed by trained and authorized personnel only. Proper eye protection
should be worn when servicing the mast.
Pinch Point Hazard!
Moving parts can crush and cut resulting in death or
serious injury. Keep clear of moving parts while operating mast.
Relocation Hazard! Relocating the mast during operation or after ex-
tension could result in death or serious injury. Do not relocate the mast
during operation or while extended.
Lifting Hazard! The mast is intended to lift a specic payload for lighting,
surveillance or communication use only. Any other use without written
consent is prohibited and could cause death or serious injury. Do not
exceed specied payload capacity.
Electrocution Hazard! Contact with high voltage will result in death or
serious injury. Observe general safety precautions for handling equipment
using high voltage.
Do not locate or operate mast near electrical lines, cables
or other unwanted sources of electricity. Do not operate mast in lightning. Be
certain electrical cables are undamaged and properly terminated. Always dis-
connect power before performing service, repair or test operations.

The maximum payload for the mast is 22.6 kg / 50 lbs total. The payload weight should be evenly
distributed around or divided per arms on the mast. For example, if you have 4 arms and a total payload
of 22.6 kg / 50 lbs, place 5.65 kg / 12.5 lbs on each arm. The cable and platform bracket weight must
be considered in the maximum payload weight. If the cable weight is signicant, it may be possible to
route the cable opposite the payload weight or to loosely wrap the cable around the tubes.
Do not deploy the mast in winds greater than 32 kmh / 20 mph. For payload weights and wind sail areas
outside website specied limits, contact the Will-Burt Company.
2m / 8 ft. to 15m / 49.2 ft. Deployment
Depending on the payload weight and the current wind speeds at deployment, two or
three people are required to raise a 2m / 8 ft. to 15m / 49.2 ft. mast. One person is
typically required to load the mast tubes while one or two people manage the guy lines.
Typically, single staking the tripod base plates is sufcient.
Contingent upon the payload weight and the current wind speeds at
deployment, three to ve people are required to raise a 13m / 42.6 ft.
to 15m / 49.2 ft. tall mast. One or two people are required to load the mast
tubes
while two or three people manage the guy lines. Double staking the tripod base
plates is required.

1. Select a Level and Safe Site
2. Begin Mast Installation

To Ensure Safe Installation:
1. For the base of the deployed tripod, select a site that
has no more than a 5° slope. Ensure that the center of the
site is approximately .5m / 2 ft. square and is level and
smooth. The center of the site is where the base tube for
the mast will land later in the installation.
2. Ensure that the site has adequate overhead and ground
clearances. The overhead clearance must be at least
the height of the mast. The ground clearance must be a
radius equal to the height of the mast. For example, for a
4m / 13.1 ft. mast, ensure that the site has an overhead
clearance of 4m / 13.1 ft. and a clear radius of 4m / 13.1
ft. from the center of the site.
3. Unzip the wheeled bag, remove guy bag and short bag.
4. Remove the tripod. Remove the top tube and base tube
making sure to keep separate from mast tubes.
