Remove grip jaws - G7-style crossheads
Equipment and supplies required
• A suitable stable platform such as a man-lift, stairs, or ladder. The platform must be of sufficient
height so that the operator can reach the tension crosshead.
• 4 mm hex key (supplied)
• Screw driver (supplied) - for 300DX only
Recommended procedure
1. Use the grip controls to fully open the grip jaws. The grip jaws must be fully open.
2. For 300DX frames, pry a grip jaw and release it from the magnet in the jaw carrier (use screwdriver).
For 600DX frames, loosen the retainer setscrew (9) through the access hole on the front guide
plate (6, Figure 11) (use 4 mm hex key). Only loosen the setscrew enough to release the grip jaw.
3. Remove the grip jaw from the grip pocket.
4. Repeat for each grip jaw.
All equipment must be supplied by the customer unless noted as “supplied”. For a list of equipment that
was supplied with the system, refer to “Ancillary parts” on page 87.
