Safety Instructions

The system is rated to the load stated. The end user is responsible for ensuring the loads are securely fastened. Rolatube Technology does not accept liability or provide warranty for usage deviating from the enclosed instructions.

  1. Before deploying the mast please read all warnings below.
  2. Avoid contact with heavy and sharp objects, in storage do not stack anything on top of Rolatubes.
  3. Do not use the mast if there is visible damage.
  4. The end user must assess the suitability of the pegs provided for the intended deployment environment, and replace with more suitable products if necessary.
  5. Rolatube mast systems are rated for wind speeds of up to 100kph (62mph). The maximum wind rating is based on the bare mast correctly deployed and guyed. The end user or system integrator is responsible for ensuring the system is safe with the top load mounted.
Warnings
  1. Ensure the deployment site is clear of any cables or equipment that represents an electric shock hazard.
  2. Do not deploy near power lines, in thunderstorms or winds exceeding 100kph (62mph).
  3. Do not exceed the rated top load of the mast.
  4. Ensure any top load is securely fastened.
  5. Do not allow the mast to bend.
  6. Ensure the deployment site is clear of any underground hazards before using pegs.
  7. Ensure guy ropes and pegs are secure for duration of deployment.
  8. Consideration must be given to the location of any cable from the top load to avoid trip hazards.
  9. Consideration must be given when deploying in proximity to an aircraft landing site for aircraft movement.
  10. Rolatube masts are only designed to function in the vertical axis.
  11. Deploy the mast with the slot facing away from any prevailing wind.
Deployment (4 Person)
Person 1 — At base of mast: Deployment lead, responsible for deploying mast from the roll.
Persons 2, 3 & 4 — At guy pegs: Maintaining tension during deployment to keep mast vertical.
1

Position Base Cap

Person 1: Place the base cap where the mast is to be deployed, with one peg hole facing into the wind. Secure with red base cap pegs.

Low profile base cap secured with red pegs
2

Pace Out Guy Ropes

Persons 2, 3 & 4: Using the pegs in the base cap for guidance, pace out the position of the various guy ropes and insert pegs into the ground.

3

Connect Guy Ropes

Persons 2, 3 & 4: Unwind all guy ropes, connect to the pegs and lay the snap hooks next to the top cap, ready for connection as the mast is deployed. Wait at the 3 outer pegs.

4

Attach Top Cap, Top Load & Unroll

Person 1: Place mast between feet and attach the top cap with the flat edge aligned with the open slot in the mast, which is facing away from the wind. Secure the top load and connect guy ropes. Continue to unroll the mast vertically whilst Persons 2, 3 & 4 maintain light tension on the guy ropes to keep the mast vertical.

*If the secondary cuff is also being used, please attach at this stage according to the Secondary Cuff Kit User Guide, and secure its guy ropes to its pegs once the mast has been deployed and secured with the top cap guy ropes.
5

Slide into Base Cap

Person 1: When the mast is fully unrolled, slide it carefully into the base cap, whilst keeping it vertical and ensuring the slot is still facing away from the wind. Persons 2, 3 & 4: Maintain light tension on guy ropes.

6

Secure Guy Ropes

Persons 2, 3 & 4: Tighten and secure guy ropes. Do not overtighten.

RECOVERY: Recovery is a logical reverse procedure of deployment. Person 1 lifts the mast from the base cap while Persons 2, 3 & 4 provide support with the guy ropes. Person 1 rolls the bottom edge to enable the mast to be rolled down whilst keeping it vertical. When the top cap and top load can be reached, Person 1 removes them whilst Persons 2, 3 & 4 continue to support the mast with the guy ropes. DO NOT allow the mast to fall to the ground or damage to mast and top load may occur.
