Installation of the monorail beam attachments
1
-
Slide a monorail beam attachment assembly on a top support outrigger (fi g. 7.78)
of the monorail structure. In a
single unit installation
, use the
upper or lower tubes
(fi g. 7.83) of the monorail attachment – using the same position throughout the
installation. In a
multiple units installation
, use the
lower
tubes
over the
unit
and
cantilever bridges
and the
upper tubes
over the
bearing bridge
(fi g. 7.80).
2-
Secure the monorail beam attachment in place by tightening the pocket bolt.
3-
Loosen all four bolts on a monorail bracket (fi g. 7.78) to slacken the attachment plates
on the bottom.

Follow steps 1 through 3 of the installation procedure for the bottom support structure
on p. 104 for each bottom support tube required by the setup. The distance between
two bottom supports must not exceed 8' (2,4 m), as shown in fi g. 7.78.
2-
Follow steps 1 through 5 of the installation procedure for the top support structure on
p. 104 for each vertical post installation (front and back) required by the setup.
3-
Remove the locking device and the sliding tube from a 10' (3 m) outrigger and slide
the outrigger into the pockets of the front and back vertical posts. Secure the outrigger
in place by tightening the pocket bolts.
4-
Repeat step 3 for each 10' (3 m) outrigger required by the setup.
Using the same support structure as the weather protection system, the M2 Series monorail
system allows loads of up to 1000 lb (454 kg) to be moved safely along the installation. The
M2 Series monorail system can be used on setups with a maximum planking confi guration
of three planks wide.
It is recommended to refer to and comply with the monorail capacities tables on p. 109
before using a monorail installation. The weight of the monorail structure must also be
deducted from the load capacities of the setup. Refer to the
Load Capacities
section on
p. 80 to avoid overloading the platform.
Safety guidelines
1-
The use of a monorail is not allowed on a freestanding installation. For more information
about tie levels for an installation with a monorail, refer to the
Mast Tie Schedule
on
p. 70 of the
Masts and Mast Ties
section.
2-
Before installing a monorail, it is important to refer to the general installation guidelines
on p. 18 to select the appropriate method of installation for the confi guration.
