A-Series rigging components
2.5 Ring cotter
In connection with the A-Series rigging system, ring cotters are used
for the following items to prevent the respective item from
slackening and/or loosening:
▪ Fixing bolt of the shackles attached to the Flying frame.
▪ Fixing bolt of the cabinet's splay link.
▪ Fixing bolt of the Z5147 Rota clamp.
Function of the ring cotter
By default, the ring cotters are "locked" to prevent them from
loosening.
For modification reasons such as altering the position of the
Frame's Rear link or exchanging a shackle, it may be necessary to
temporarily remove the ring cotter and reattach it afterwards.
For this purpose proceed as follows:
1.
Unlock
Unlock the ring cotter by pushing up the front wire loop over
the straight wire shaft.
2.
Release and remove
Push down the rear wire loop until the ring cotter snaps over
the edge of the bolt and remove the ring cotter.
3.
Refit and lock
Refit the ring cotter by pushing the straight wire shaft through
the hole and pressing the front wire loop underneath the
straight wire shaft.
