CM375 Portable 10-Meter Mast
3.5 Raise, Plumb Mast and Final Cable Tensioning
Step 1: With NW and NE cables attached to anchors have one person lift mast,
while another person pulls on the SOUTH cables to bring mast to an upright
position (see FIGURE 3-29). If using rope ratchets, adjust them to allow
further steps.

Step 2: Attach SOUTH cables to anchor. While first person holds mast and
uses a post level (available at most hardware stores or online), the second
person adjusts each of the bottom guy cable wedge clamps, maintaining level
in all directions (see FIGURE 3-30). The rope ratchet can be used to
temporarily remove the load from the wedge assembly during wedge
adjustments.
