CHAPTER 2: PULL BACK RIGGING INSTRUCTIONS

Executing a 

pull back

 requires balancing the loads of suspended arrays. By altering the momentary load on each motor to 

achieve a new stable configuration, this dynamically shifts the array’s

 center of gravity

. These procedures ensure a safe tran-

sition from 

top grid suspension

 to 

full pull back

.

NOMENCLATURE

The following figures define the rigging points used in these instructions.

Top Front and Rear of Array Center Rigging Points (left); Top Front and Rear of Array Bridled Rigging Points (right)
