Assembly of GF- 9 Crane System on Tripod and Track Dolly
The assembly of the GF-9 on the Track Dolly is continued in much the same manner as
already described but a few details must be observed:
1.
Upon placing the 3 Tripod legs in the fittings on the Track Dolly secure each one with
the 3 locking fasteners securing each with the 2 locking screws until hand tight.

2. Level the Tripod on the Track Dolly by turning the leveller at the bottom of each leg
and observing the water level on the pan section. Attention: the maximum levelling
range is 30mm / 1inch (see page 7). When level, lock off the leveller to avoid any
unwanted movement and twisting. Furthermore it is essential and a prerequisite that
the track is level and supported correctly. Ensure that the track properly laid and
constructed. The correct underlay must be used to ensure that the track and underlay
are secured against moving, slipping and collapse. Ensure that the underlay meets
the specified support and stability requirements.

3. The maximum Pivot Point Height ( tilt point ) allowed when using the GF-9 on the
Tripod mounted on the Track Dolly is 172cm / 5’ 7“ based on the distance from the
actual ground to the Pivot Point. This height may not be exceeded. When using GFM
Track the Tripod can be extended to the 15th hole and then secured with the
respective safety pins.
4. During assembly it is very important to secure the Track Dolly so it cannot move on
the track. For this purpose GFM Dolly Stoppers, sand bags or similar should be used.
