GUIDELINES FOR RIGGING AND DE-RIGGING
Have assembly job carried out by skilled personnel only.
Only carry out rigging and de-rigging operations in the "Kelly mode".
CAUTION
Severe accident hazard!
The operator must be familiar with all the control elements and their
capabilities before he starts rigging operations.
WARNING!
Danger of falling!
Personnel working on the mast or on the upper carriage must wear the
prescribed fall protection equipment.
The equipment must only be mounted on even and horizontal ground with the nec-
essary load-bearing capacity.
Check all components for damage.
Steel components which are subjected to heavy loads (e.g. the undercarriage, upper
carriage, boom, auxiliary boom, supporting boom, kinematic triangle, mast sections,
masthead, winch trestles and the connection between the piston eyes and the hy-
draulic cylinders and piston rods) should undergo visual inspection prior to mounting
to check for fissures.
Before starting assembly, inspect the equipment for a film of protecting wax. All
such wax must be removed (see Chapter Wax Removal).
For lifting and loading, use only the lifting slings forming part of the basic outfit.
Attach lifting slings only to provided lifting eyes.
CAUTION
Rig tipping hazard!
During rigging operations, the uppercarriage must be in line with the
undercarriage and be interlocked with the same.
