Setups with F2 Series motorized units and bridges require mast ties, unless an optional adapter
base for freestanding installation is used. The optional adapter base for freestanding installation
can only be used in a standard confi guration. A standard confi guration is a linked installation
that does not require the use of additional equipment, such as a forward extension bridge, a
swivel bridge, a planking confi guration wider than three planks, weather protection, a hoist, a
monorail or a cantilever reinforcement cable retainer.
It is mandatory to refer to the Mast Tie Schedule tables on p. 87 of the Mast and Mast Ties
section before the installation of any F2 Series confi guration, whether freestanding or tied.
It is important to consider that the combined use of equipment and accessories required to achieve
a confi guration may not be allowed on a same installation. For information on the combination of
equipment and accessories allowed for a linked confi guration, refer to the table in fi g. 1.25. For
information on the restrictions of equipment and accessories allowed for the cantilever ends of an
unlinked confi guration (single unit or multiple units), refer to the table in fi g. 1.28, p. 18, and
to the table in fi g. 1.29, p. 18, for the bearing bridge of a multiple units unlinked confi guration.
The installation of an F2 Series setup with mast ties can be achieved using a progressive
installation method or through complete pre-installation of tie levels. The confi guration
required by the layout plan and the schedule of installation of mast ties will determine which
method of installation is more appropriate. For more information about the methods of installation,
refer to p. 20 of this section.
