HYDRAULIC WINDSHIELD SYSTEM HWS
Before any system lifting, the following instructions must be taken into account:
Ensure that all contact surfaces between masts and climbing heads are clean and greased in order to ease the
movement between them.
Supervise that every hydraulic connection is correct.
Verify that the “Self Climbing Block LT HWS” are correctly positioned, oriented and the distance between them
is the required one.
Verify that the structure to be lifted does not put in danger any person nearby.
Verify that the structure to be lifted will not interfere with any object during the climbing process and does not
snag with any possible existing structure nearby.
Ensure that all lateral accesses to platforms are closed avoiding any accidental fall.
Worker assistance is required at all times during lifting movements in order to have cylinders, brackets and HWS
Heads under control and act on them when necessary.
Workers must know and control that every climbing step described is correctly carried out.
In case of “Slab Bracket LT HWS”, fix it with a push-pull prop at the “Head LT HWS” side. In case of lack of upper
slab, use a “Piece of Wood” at the rear part of the bracket (See point 2.2.4 “Slab Bracket LT HWS”)
