Connect the 200cm / 6’ 6” extension number 2 to extension number 1. Slip the
connection flanges into each other and secure with the provided safety pin.
Note
: Section 2 must be supported by a suitable support stand or rostrum.
Tip
:
To avoid the sections jamming or getting stuck make sure that the sections
are joined parallel. Using a small amount of lubricant also helps. We suggest
rubbing the joints with an oiled rag prior to assembly.
The “Rigging Harness Assembly” is described on page 9. After reading and
following the instructions, please proceed as follows.
14. Connect 2 turnbuckles to the bottom connection on the front side of the rigging
harness. Ensure that the locking pins are inserted fully.
15. Connect 2 standard rigging rods to the turnbuckles on the front side of the rigging
harness. Ensure that the locking pins are inserted fully.
16. Connect another 2 standard rigging rods to the first 2 standard rigging rods and in
turn to the rigging connectors on section 2. Ensure that the locking pins are inserted
fully.
17. Hand tighten the rods by turning the turnbuckles until the rods are taut, then secure
the turnbuckles with the locking nut as seen on page 9.
Attention:
The rigging system when taut as well as the crane arm, should run in a
straight line and should not bend or dip.
