1 INTRODUCTION

This manual contains the installation and set-up instructions for the Series 1-L Total Moment 
Indicator.

Installation should only be carried out by competent and trained staff as this product is a 
safety product.

During installation it is assumed that industry standards will be observed and all cabling will 
be protected against damage either from the movement of the machine or from collisions 
that may occur during

normal operations (trees & branches, etc.)

All welding or bare metalwork should be treated to ensure that rust does not form.
