WARNING

TM 32-5985-343-14&P

WARNING

There shall be at least two full wraps of cable on drum of tower hoist during its operation. (Page

2-15)

CAUTION

Before raising tower section No. 1, be sure that the tower pivots are properly aligned and not

1800 out of alignment. Otherwise pivot assemblies may be damaged when tower section No. 1 is

raised. (Page 2-15)

CAUTION

When tower section No. 1 is almost raised and before it is set down completely, check alignment

of the studs in tower support with the mating holes in tower leg that sets down. If holes and

studs do not align, correct alignment to prevent damage to tower leg or tower support. (Page 2-

15)

CAUTION

When lowering tower section No. 1, put blocks of equal height beneath the pivoting tower legs.

Otherwise damage to the tower or to the piers could result when these legs rest on the piers,

especially if the terrain is uneven. The supporting blocks must be the right height for allowing

the attachment of tower section No. 2, and they must be capable of supporting 1000 pounds

each. (Page 2-15)

CAUTION

Make sure that tower braces No. 6 are attached to tower leg assemblies in the prescribed manner.

Otherwise the multiple-leg sling assembly may damage brace when tower is raised. (Page 2-17)

CAUTION

The blocks that support the top tower section (tower section No. 4) must be able to support a

load of 2,000 pounds. This capacity is necessary because of the additional weight of the tower

adapter which is attached before the tower is raised. (Page 2-18)

WARNING

The tower must be guyed or otherwise secured against high winds. (Pages 2-18, 2-20)
