[TowerTalk] Raising fixture question

[K4SAV]

You should be OK.  You can crank it from the side, but you won't be able 
to crank it from the front. If you have 3 feet between the house and the 
edge of the concrete pad, you should be able to crank it from behind 
also.  You should have about 1 to 1 1/2 ft between the winch body and 
edge of the concrete, and the winch handle is about a foot long, so you 
should have the whole 3 ft available for working the winch.
