Operation 6.
6.1 Setting up the DUO traversing system
DANGER / CAUTION!
Before the individual components of the DUO traversing system can be set up,
the load to be raised must be secured in accordance with applicable guidelines
and regulations to prevent it slipping.
6.1.1 General information
The DUO traversing system consists of several individual components. By correspondingly
configuring the individual components, several different complete systems can be built up.
While not all individual components are required for some of these complete systems, you
may need several of the individual components to make up other systems.
In addition to the individual components of the DUO traversing system, you will need suitable
hydraulic jacks for lifting the load and at least one suitable hydraulic unit or hand pump to
supply the pressure.
6.1.2 Preparing to set up the traversing system
Check the individual components for visible damage before setting up the traversing
system.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to select a more favourable load application point!
You must pay attention to the following points while setting up the components of the
traversing system:
- Make sure that the load is placed centred on to the piston rod or roller carriage plate.
Position the jack/roller carriage under the centre of gravity of the load so that the load
cannot tilt during the lifting and traversing operation thus posing a danger to the operating
personnel or the equipment itself. The load must always rest centred on the surface of
the piston or roller carriage plate. Avoid off-centre loads!
