Rigging procedures

15.

With 2 people working simultaneously on each side of the array, secure the rear link points between ARRAY#1 and

ARRAY#2 as follows:

a) Remove the KARA#4 rear top R-BLP from its

storage

hole, slide the angle arm so as to align the cursor with the

chosen angle label, and lock it in place by re-inserting the R-BLP into the corresponding angle hole (0°/2°/4° or

1°/3°/5°/7.5°/10°).

b) While grabbing the back handle of KARA#6, rotate ARRAY#2 so as to align the KARA#3 and KARA#4 rear link

points.

c) Lock ARRAY#2 in place by removing the KARA#3 rear bottom R-BLP from its

storage

hole and re-inserting it into

its

link

hole.

16.

Set the inter-enclosure angles in ARRAY#2 by applying step

(p.62).

17.

If the array is intended to be own in pullback conguration, attach a KARA-PULLBACK to the bottom Kara as

follows:

a) Align the KARA-PULLBACK studs with the Kara link points (long studs at the back).
b) Remove the four Kara bottom R-BLP from their

storage

holes and lock theKARA-PULLBACK in place by re-

inserting them into their

link

holes.

c) Attach the hook or stinger of an additional motor to the KARA-PULLBACK shackle.
