>> All,
>>
>> A friend has just received an MRF (mast raising fixture) from US Towers.
>> The question is how does it operate. There are no diagrams or manual as
>> usual from US Towers.
>>
>> I assume that the fixture bolts to the two holes on the top plate of the
>> tower, is the cable supposed to go though the same hole as the mast?
>>
>> If so this would mean that the mast and thrust bearing would have to be
>> removed so that the cable and cleat could pass through the mast hole and
>> would stop the use of a thrust bearing, I can't believe this would be
>> true.
>>
>> Any help with an explanation or photos would be very much appreciated.
>>
>> Thank you,
>>
>> Mike, K6BR and K6MCL
