Double Rigging System
The Double Rigging System and Large Rigging Harness must be mounted for all
GF-8 Xten Versions. For each extension section there is a matching pair of rigging rods.
The rods for the 150cm sections are all identical. In principle, mounting the rigging requires
connecting the respective rods starting at the turnbuckles on the rigging harness and
finishing at the connection on the last arm section or in some cases the second last
section.
