5.5.4 Subsequent
GEO
D10’s
•
Repeat the above section steps, until all GEO D10’s are in place. As the assembly is lifted,
angles between GEO D10’s cabinets will remain at 0° whatever the linking bar positions.
•
NB : angle settings are free to be adjusted while the system is clear of the ground, provided that
rear pull-up force is not applied.
5.5.5 Applying compression with the Chain Lever Hoist
•
Once the GEO D10 assembly is completed, connect the bottom bumper to the last GEO D10
with the 10mm x 20mm push-pins inserted in the “FIX” bottom hole (see drawings below).
•
Check the array according to the Checklist procedure described later in this manual.
•
Attach the main hook of the Chain Lever Hoist to the rear of the Bottom Bumper;
•
Manually raise the Bottom Bumper and rotate the fingerwheel clockwise until the chain is taught;
•
Make a final check that the Chain Lever Hoist is correctly installed;
•
Rotate the lever to apply the pull-up force to the bottom of the array; notice that, as the chain gets
shorter, the cabinets in the array close together to the angles set by the angle adjustments push-
pins;
As the chainload tensions, ensure that no twisting occurs on the chain;
•
When all of the cabinets are closed together, required force to rotate the lever becomes much
stronger. This is the indication that the angles have been correctly set;
•
store the surplus chain in the chain bag supplied. The chain bag should be clipped to the chain.
In case of “Left” configuration, make sure that the bottom link bars cannot hurt anyone
going below the cluster. If any doubt, NEXO strongly recommends removing them
(screws can be replaced by 10mm x 20mm push-pins to facilitate such change).
