I. Daily Cleaning Methods
1. Surface Cleaning
Wipe the mast surface with a soft, damp cloth or neutral detergent to avoid damaging the coating with corrosive chemicals (for stainless steel, wipe along the grain).
Stubborn stains can be treated with a diluted mild detergent and thoroughly dried after cleaning.
2. Track/Telescopic Joint Cleaning
Remove debris (such as leaves and gravel) from the track to prevent sticking.
For electric masts, check the tightness of the telescopic joint to prevent dust from entering the internal mechanism.
II. Regular Maintenance Tips
1. Lubrication and Maintenance
Apply high-temperature resistant grease to transmission components (such as gears, chains, and lead screws) every 3-6 months to reduce wear.
Pay attention to the amount of lubricant to avoid spillage and contamination.
2. Electrical System Inspection
Check the power cord and control box wiring for signs of wear or looseness, and the remote control signal for stability.
After a thunderstorm, it is important to check the electrical system for damage. 3. Mechanical Structure Tightening

Regularly check bolts, locking pins, and other fasteners with a torque wrench. Tighten immediately if loose.

Weld cracks exceeding 2mm require repair.

III. Special Scenarios Maintenance

Vehicle-Mounted Mast: After retracting, store in a dry, ventilated place to avoid vibrations that could cause the locking mechanism to fail.

High Humidity Environment: Spray epoxy zinc-rich primer for rust prevention and use with a dehumidifier.

IV. Troubleshooting

Abnormal Noise/Stuck: Check gear engagement and lubrication for insufficient lubrication. Shut down the machine for repair if necessary.

Electrical Faults: Prioritize troubleshooting for poor power connection. For complex issues, contact the manufacturer's after-sales service.

V. Precautions
Avoid violent operation or overloading. The single-arm load capacity must strictly comply with the indicated values.

Disconnect the power supply during maintenance to avoid accidental control button operation.
