sheave pin attach bar, (rectangular plate with
threaded holes on each side of pin bore hole).
d. Slide the whole anchor block assembly with
sheave pin, wheels and pin attach bars into top
of mast section-2. (Position anchor block with

Mast Section 3 - Assembly
NOTE: When sliding mast sections together, be careful not
to scratch or score the anodized finish in the slide
pad channels.
18. Locate mast section-3, carefully slide section-3
closed rail into section-2 open rail. Slide sections
together until ends are even.
19. Locate one (1) of the chain/cable anchor plates (one
with threaded holes horizontally aligned to outside of
bracket). Attach using outer set of holes in bottom of
mast section-3 with two (2) 1/4"-20UNC x 3/4" long
bolts, place a flatwasher under head of each bolt.

sheave wheels.
c. Place two (2) sheave pin attach bars, one each
end of sheave pin to outside of space tubes.
d. Holding complete sheave wheel assembly, slide
assembly into top of mast section-3 and align
threaded holes in sheave pin attach bars with
holes in mast rails.
e. Attach to top of mast section-3 using two (2) 3/
8"-16UNC x 1/2" long socket head-countersunk-

with beveled surface facing inward towards section-
3.
NOTE: Before fastening and shimming the slide pad on the
top left side of the mast, install a sequence cable
bracket against the mast under the flatwasher.
26. Thread slide pad attaching bolts, two (2) 1/4"-
20UNC x 3/8" long hex head bolts, place a flat
washer under head of each bolt, through holes in

28. Insert slide pads into the bottom end mast rails
between section-2 and -3, (one on each side of the
mast), with beveled surface facing out towards sec-
tion-2.
29. Thread slide pad attaching bolts, two (2) 1/4"-
20UNC x 3/8" long hex head bolts, place a flat
washer under head of each bolt, through holes on
inside rail, on bottom end of mast section-3 and into
the slide pad inserts. Thread in enough to hold pad
