streamer to masthead if desired.

Setup
Carry into place.
Walk the legs out in small increments. Walk two adjacent legs in one lifting and spreading motion. Straighten the mast by spreading two legs on the side that the top of the mast needs to move toward. The feet should be
3 to 4 feet apart.
If the hooks are facing outward, pick up mast bottom assembly above legs, and move the legs in the opposite direction as the first attempt.
Hook a chain onto 2 opposite legs and onto the corresponding hooks on the mast bottom. The chains can make minor corrections to the mast position, but should not be used for major corrections. Reposition the legs as needed.
