4. Lift the load frame and prepare for vertical positioning.
A. Lift the load frame, keeping it horizontal, until it is completely
clear of the skid and supports.
B. Remove the skid and supports.
C. Place wood beams beneath the bottom (actuator) end of the load
frame, with the length of the beams running parallel to the length
of the load frame.
5. Raise the load frame to its vertical (upright) position.
A. Lower the bottom end of the load frame until it contacts the wood
beams.
B. Block the beams so they do not slide.
C. Slowly raise the load frame to a vertical position. As the unit rises,
keep moving the crane to keep the chains as straight as possible.
D. Disconnect the lift straps from the bottom end of the load frame.
6. Move the load frame to its final location.
Before you move the load frame review the following:
• The floor where the load frame will sit can bear its weight (see “315 Load
Frame Weights” on page 17).
• The path to the load frame’s destination is clear and uncluttered.
• The area where the load frame will sit is clean and well lit, with
all hoses and cables moved out of harm’s way.
A. When the load frame is upright, raise it slightly to clear the wood
beams. Lift the load frame only as high as necessary.
B. Move the load frame slowly to its installation site.
