Greetings- I need to work on the rotator shelf in my USTower HDX-772. I've been told SOP is to have tower completely retracted, use UST lowering device to tilt-over tower to near horizontal onto support stands, and then extend to expose the rotator section in the top section. Should Prelube 6 or another type lubricant be used on the load-bearing tower steel tubing to help reduce friction when extending/retracking the tower while horizontal? Seems an unfortuate amount of galling of load bearing galvanized steel tubing will occur with this process. Thanks Gary, NØGS _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
