Safe crank up work? (was: Crank-up mishap)

[henry@rio.com]

my tower, when nested fully, has each section resting on cross braces at the 
bottom of the tower. the sections can't move down at all, just up. the cables 
have no tension at all. i don't understand what the problem is with climbing 
crank-ups. don't all the towers rest this way?
