> Steve, in order to apply the Prelube safely, I assume you would use a
ladder and spray it on that portion of the cable that is unspooled when
the tower is retracted? Then spray the remainder of the cable while it
is spooled onto the drum or while in the process of elevating the
tower? I just want to be sure I have this right.
Well, you have to spray all the cables so I start at the top and
work my way down the tower and the last thing I do is spray the cable on the
drum.
The comment to put 2x4's under each section to keep it from slipping
down is excellent advice. I also use pipes or U-bolts on the legs. Any of
these work well to keep your fingers and toes intact.
