Wheel Set
The optional M2 Series wheel set facilitates the relocation of a motorized unit. The wheel
set can also be used to move a cantilever setup measuring up to 64' (19,5 m) or a bearing
bridge structure of a length of up to 62' (18,9 m). On job sites where space is limited, the
wheel set can be unlocked and set in a “crab mode” to enable steering with the two-part
tongue. It is important to use extreme care when lifting and moving a motorized unit or a
setup with the wheel set.
1-
Remove all loads and equipment from the deck and make sure there are no bridges
bolted to the motorized unit. Make sure all doors and guardrails are secure and that
there is no one on the platform.
2-
Make sure that there is at least but not more than one mast section on top of each of
the bottom mast sections welded on the base of the unit. Raise the motorized unit to
the top of the mast sections. For instructions on how to raise or lower the motorized
unit, refer to p. 65 and p. 67 of the
Power Pack and Operating Components
section.
3-
Using the handle bars, move the wheel set under one end of the motorized unit. Make
sure the wheel set is positioned under a vertical member.
4-
Lower the motorized unit onto the wheel set with precaution, making sure the deck
of the motorized unit remains level.
5-
Secure the wheel set in place with the four locking pins.
6-
Slide chains, cable or slings through the other end of the motorized unit and secure
them crosswise to the forks of a rough terrain forklift, making sure the deck of the
motorized unit remains level. Refer to p. 37 of the
Motorized Unit
section for instructions
on the lifting and moving of a motorized unit.
7-
Make sure both cylinders are fully retracted and that the hooks are not engaged on
a mast rung. For more information on how to make the cylinders retract themselves,
refer to step 4 of the instructions for raising a motorized unit on p. 65 of the
Power
Pack and Operating Components
section.
8-
Retrieve the transport hooks from their storage location. Remove the cylinder hooks
and install the transport hooks. Store the cylinder hooks in their storage location. For
more information, refer to p. 62 of the
Power Pack and Operating Components
section.
9-
Make sure the secondary hooks are not engaged on a mast rung. Proceed with caution
and extend the cylinders to raise the base off the ground by about 12" (30,5 cm).
10-
Retrieve the mast locking bars from their storage location and insert them in the
masts. Refer to p. 62 of the
Power Pack and Operating Components
for instructions
on the storage of locking bars. Lower the motorized unit until the base rests on the
mast locking bars. Raise the base jacks, if necessary.
11-
Move the motorized unit like a trailer to its new location. For more information about
the lifting and moving of a motorized unit, refer to p. 37 of the
Motorized Unit
section.
