3. Secure hugger brackets to the mast assembly with four bolts and locknuts,
but before securing the top-right bolt, place the mast level into place on the
bolt. In order to be roughly accurate, the face of the level should be flush with
the upper edge of the hugger bracket.
4. Secure the front roller plate to the hugger bracket by re-attaching and
tightening the previously removed front roller plate bolts.
5. Ensure that all hugger bracket and front roller plate bolts are tight.
