Offer one end of the beam to the rear bolt-hole on
the cheek-plate (Bolt 1) and insert a bolt. Put on
plain washer, spring washer then nut, finger tight.
N.B.
The gantry beam has adjustment holes to narrow
the footprint of the gantry. This is best done when the
gantry is assembled with 2 persons sliding the A-frame
inwards while 1-2 persons steady the gantry by holding
the beam – this will require the use of a step ladder. If
this process is required to be carried out often then
an upgrade to ‘lobed cheek plates’ can be purchased
which allows the gantry to be assembled as steps 8-21
but with one A-frame inward from the end of the beam.
11.
Thread beam trolley over the other end of the beam
and lock with friction brake at approximately centre
position.
12.
Offer opposite side of beam to the rear bolt-hole on
the cheek-plate (Bolt 1) and insert bolt. Put on plain
washer, spring washer then nut, finger tight.
