Carry Bar
Attach the carry bar (type
‘BF applied part)
into the hook on the lift tape, located at the end opposite to the hoist, in the
following way:
1.
On the hook, move the locking mechanism into the hook by pressing down on the tab (Figure 6 and 7).
2.
With the carry bar positioned sideways along the length of the bar, move the pin at the top of the carry bar into the
hook (Figure 8).
3.
Alternatively, with the carry bar positioned sideways, the pin at the top of the carry bar can gently push the locking
mechanism out of the way as the pin is carefully moved into the hook.
4.
Once the pin is in the hook, rotate the carry bar 90° down so the carry bar is hanging below the hook on the pin in the
hook. Move the locking mechanism into place by pushing up on the tab, securing the carry bar on the hook and lifting
tape. (Figure 10 and 11)
