14. RAISING THE MAST
CAUTION:BEFORE RAISING THE MAST,
BE SURE THE AREA IS FREE OF
OVERHEAD POWER LINES. SHOULD
THE MAST COME IN CONTACT WITH AN
OVERHEAD POWER LINE THE RESULTS
COULD BE FATAL.
Note: If the mast has to be laid down
before raising, support it below the
COMPTIP and forward of the tiller
crossbar assembly.
14.1 Secure the trapeze wires to the bottom of
the mast so they will be out of the way when
raising the mast.
14.2 Attach the jib halyard line to each end of
the jib halyard wire to form a very large loop.
The halyard line must be connected to the
halyard wire before the mast is raised, or you
will lose access to it when the mast is raised.

14.3 Place the mast base over the mast step
ball located on the front crossbar and insert

The pin should be visible on the opposite side
of the mast base. Secure the pin with clevis
ring. (FIGURE 24)
