Installation of the mast guards
Installation of additional bridges, equipment and accessories
20- With the unit at base level, install as many additional bridges as is required and allowed.
Refer to the Load Capacities section on p. 94 for the maximum number of bridges
allowed in a setup.
21- Install additional equipment and accessories as is required and allowed. For more
information about the combined use of equipment and accessories in an installation,
refer to the tables for the combinations allowed or restricted in linked and unlinked
confi gurations on p. 17 and p. 18 of this section. For instructions on the installation
and use of an extension bridge or a swivel bridge, refer to the Bridges section on p. 50.
For instructions on the installation and use of any other accessory such as a monorail
or weather protection, refer to the Accessories section on p. 123.
Verifi cation of the setup
23- Make a fi nal verifi cation of the setup before authorizing workers to use the motorized
unit. Make sure that all the guardrails are in place and secure (see p. 108 of the
Accessories section for more information about guardrails). In all cases where workers
are exposed to fall hazards greater than specifi ed by local regulations, the installation
of guardrails or face guardrail supports is mandatory.
24- Before authorizing workers to use the motorized unit, perform every step in the daily
inspection checklist. It is recommended to fi ll out the handover sheet to complete the
installation. Refer to p. 134 of the Transport, Storage and Maintenance section for
more information about the daily inspection checklist and to p. 136 for information
about the handover sheet.
Greasing of the racks and gears
18- Upon initial setup and subsequently after every 8 to 10 hours of cumulative runtime
(unit travel up and down the mast), grease must be applied to the gears and to the
racks, from the top of the mast down. For more information, refer to the daily inspection
checklist for this motorized unit. Grease must be allowed to stand for 2-3 hours before
the motorized unit is used again. Use an open gear lubricant recommended by Hydro
Mobile. Refer to p. 133 of the Transport, Storage and Maintenance section for more
information on the appropriate lubrication method. Lower the motorized unit to base
level, verifying the mast ties and the mast bolts and applying grease, as required, on
the way down. Make sure that all bolt assemblies are tightened to the proper torque
and are in good condition, and that grease is applied appropriately.
Installing and testing the top limit switch
16- Make sure that the top limit trigger plate on the mast head is in a vertical position. If
necessary, loosen the thumb screws, fl ip the trigger vertically and tighten the thumb
screws by hand.
17- Test the operation of the top limit switch by raising the unit until the switch reaches the
trigger plate. The screen should display an alert for the top limit. If the limit switch is not
working properly, call the distributor/service center. For more information about limit
switches and their corresponding alerts, refer to p. 77 of the Control Panel section.
Installation of mast sections and tie levels (cont’d)
13- Once the fi rst tie level has been installed, proceed with the i
nstallation of as many
mast sections and tie levels as is required by the layout plan and the confi guration.
14- Proceed with the installation of as many mast sections and tie levels as is required by
the layout plan and the confi guration. Any F2 Series motorized unit must not be used
on a mast with a height over 500' (152 m).
Installation of outriggers and planking
22- Adjust the outriggers and install planks, as required and allowed (see p. 111 of the
Accessories section for more information).
