Make sure all power has been disconnected from the INFLEXION prior to manually lowering mast.
In the event of power loss, the INFLEXION mast will vent and lower automatically but the mast will not return to its
fully stowed horizontal position. If possible, this must be accomplished manually and must be done with extreme
caution. It may be necessary to manually pan the payload so that when it is manually stowed, the payload does not
make contact with the mounting surface or the saddle. Consult payload manufacturer to determine if best way to
move the payload without power.
To emergency stow the mast, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the base access cover.
2. Make sure all power has been disconnected from the system by turning all breakers to the OFF
position.
3. Ensure your payload is secure and may by safely lowered.
4. Remove the base cover.

Allen Screw Location).
6. Place a long 6mm Allen wrench into the hole to reach the 6mm Allen-head drive screw. A socket
Allen wrench may be used but care must be taken not to damage the adjacent air compressor.
7. Turn the socket Allen wrench clockwise to lower the mast. Lower the mast until it seats firmly in the
saddle.
