Re: [TowerTalk] Retracting crankup tower in horizontal position

["Ed Magnuson" <w1mag@bellatlantic.net>]

?I have an HDX-555 crank-up with tiltover. When the tower was installed by 
XXTowers, they used the motor to extend it while horizontal to install the 
Tailtwister. They had no trouble retracting the tower while horizontal, 
although I cannot recall if they raised it slightly with the tilt winch to 
get a gravity help. Also have the NN4ZZ tilt-plate. This is a nifty combo 
for an old fogey who no longer climbs towers.

Good luck.
