Maintenance:
At least once per month:
1. Check the mounting plate (base of the mast), the anchoring hardware, and the concrete foundation,
particularly around the anchor bolts. Make sure that the mast is securely anchored (i.e. does not wobble).
Confirm that anchoring hardware is in normal condition.
2. Examine the socket and the rollers attached to it. Confirm that both spring pins are securely in place. Each
roller must be evenly worn and undamaged. The socket itself should be rigid and undamaged.
3. Test the function of the bearing. Rotate the boom from side to side. Lubricate the bearing whenever the boom
becomes noisy while rotating or when its resistance to rotation increases. Replace a bearing if it is
substantially worn.
4. Check the boom and its mounting bracket for structural damage, i.e. severe wear, bending, cracking, etc.
Replace the entire boom assembly if structural damage is present.
5. Apply touch-up paint wherever the finish has been affected.
