2-6. Erection Using One Person (fig. 2-15)
Only one person is needed for erecting the OE-
254; proceed as follows:
a. Follow the assembly procedures in paragraph
2-4.
b. To properly raise the mast, the length of
the pulling guy ropes is critical. Walk them
over to either of the side guy stakes. Locate
point on the upper pulling guy rope where it
meets the guy stake. The lower pulling guy
should then be approximately one foot shorter
than the upper pulling guy. Simply tie a slip
knot with the upper and lower pulling guys at
that point and return to the base with the
knot in hand.
c. The mast is ready to erect. Grasp the
slip knot firmly in both hands (lower guy rope
will be slack). With both arms extended forward
at chest level, pull the mast off the
ground (using mainly back and leg strength).
If available, raise the mast head off the
ground up to four feet by using a gin pole,
box, or concrete block (fig. 2-16, sheets 1
and 2). Walk backwards to the rear guy stake
until the mast is fully erect. Do not pull the
lower pulling guy because it will automatically
tighten during erection. The large initial
