8.2 EXTENDED REACH SPREADER TIPS (ERT)
The ION spreaders use removable tips. To remove the spreader tip, use a thumb and finger to depress the spring loaded tip pins, and
remove the tips. To re-install the spreader tip, slide the tip back into place. Be sure that both pins return fully to their original positions.
The reach and versatility of the spreader can be increased by using the Extended Reach Tips (ERT). ERT tips are interchangeable with
the standard tips.
Figure 8.2
8.3 CHAIN USE
Chain kits are available for spreaders.
Setup and operation of both chain kits are the same:
• Secure chains around the load removing slack using grab
hooks to latch fully across the chain (tip of hook must not be
inserted into holes of the chain link)
• Remove slack in the chain using quick adjust links (spreader),
or grab hooks (combi)
• Tension the chain slightly and check to see that the
connections are stable and safe
• Activate the control valve actuator to close the arms and draw
the load.
