Figure 10:

Flying with Front Dollies

The two boxes must be held parallel during the installation of the rigging hinge. If there is a slight

vertical misalignment that causes the hinge to bind during installation, either the suspended box

or the box on the dolly may be manually lifted to facilitate the hinge installation. Once both rear

hinges are secured, the array is lifted until the box on the Front Dolly is no longer contacting the

ground.

The Front Dolly is then removed from the bottom box. Do not attach the front Xvsl rigging straps

yet on the bottom box. The array is then raised and another box on a Front Dolly is rolled into

position from behind the array. The two Xvhl linking hinges are then simultaneously installed in the

rigging on the suspended box and the box on the dolly as previously described.

Step 2: Roll one box with the front

dolly into position and lower the

array to align the bottom box in the

array to the box with the front dolly.

Install the rear hinges one at a

time. To ease installation the

boxes must be held parallel. Lift

the suspended box or the dolly box

as necessary to facilitate the hinge

installation.

Step 1: Attatch one or more boxes

to the grid using two grid straps at

the front and two grid straps at the

rear. Lift the array.

Step 7: Roll another box with the

front dolly into position and lower

the array to align the bottom box in

the array to the box with the front

dolly. Install the two rear hinges

and two front straps as described

in step 2.

Step 3: Remove the dolly pin and

lift the array. Remove the dolly.

Step 4: Roll the next box on a front

dolly into position. Lower the array

and install the two rear hinges

between the bottom array box and

the dolly box as done in step 3.

Step 5: Remove the dolly pin and

lift the array. Remove the dolly.

Step 6: Swing the next-to-bottom

box up and attach the two linking

straps at the front to the box

above.

Step 8: Remove the dolly pin and

lift the array. Remove the dolly.

Step 9: Swing the next-to-bottom

box up and attach the two linking

straps at the front to the box

above. Repeat steps 7, 8, and 9

until as necessary to build the

array.

Step 10: Swing the bottom box up

and attach the two linking straps at

the front to the box above.
