to form an endless loop
The following drawings and photos are valid for
standard and middle pole ladders.
5.3.1 Setting-up
a) At the height (
X
) of the lower belt’s end (Fig. 12),
fix the welding clamp with its fixing bracket on a
ladder step (Fig. 13a).
b) Approx. 3 ft. (1 m) under the belt’s end, which comes
from the driver pulley, fasten a belt grab –
with
pulling direction upwards
. (Fig. 12).
c) Approx. 10 ft. (3 m) above this clamp, fasten the
second belt grab to the round belt, which comes from
the top –
with pulling direction down-wards
(Fig.
12).
d) Anchor the chain hook of the Bravo™ lever hoist to
the locking carabiner of the upper rope grab, and
pull through by hand the chain as far as possible
(Fig. 13b). Check that the load chain has not become
twisted during installation. If twisted one of the links
could enter in the wrong position and damage the
hoist and the chain.
