Use a lifting sling (bridle) with a capacity of at least 2:1
weight ratio for the equipment being hoisted.
1. Attach the lifting bridle to the machine shown in section
"Lifting Safety"
2. Slowly lift the machine in a safe manner to a height
that is required to safely install the pans. This is typi-
cally 6"-8" above floor level.
3. Carefully slide the pans under the machine making sure
that you are aware of the corners on the blades as they
are sharp.
4. Align the pans so that the clips will not be crushed
when the machine is lowered back down.
5. Slowly lower the machine down onto the pans. Make
sure the blades are going into the proper gaps.
(Typically the pans can only be installed one way)
6. Once the machine is on securely on the ground with
the pans underneath, remove the lifting bridle from the
machine.
7. Start the machine and slowly increase the throttle until
the blades begin turning and engaging the pans. The
machine is now ready to finish the concrete utilizing the
pans.
NOTE : Utilizing the lifting sling (bridle) and the dolly jacks
are intended only for site transportation and the installation
of pans and blades. DO NOT use them for regular mainte-
nance without the additional use of jack stands to insure
stability of the machine.
