section 2
When rigging the 17 m (56 ft) swing-away lattice, you must also swing
section 2 in front of section 1.
• Fasten a guide rope to the front of section 2.
• Secure section 2 against swinging round.
Have a helper hold the guide rope tight or fasten it to the bottom of
section 1.
• In the Middle area, bring the connection into the On section 1 position;
à p. 3 - 43.
• Swing section 2 in front of section 1 with the guide rope.
• Secure section 2 against swinging around.
Have a helper hold the guide rope tight.
• If you are alone, secure section 2 to on the left-hand side to section 1 with

Risk of accidents due to section 2 swinging of its own accord
Secure section 2 always with a guide rope before you undo the connection
between section 1 and section 2 and only position the ladder on the left
side of section 1.
In this way you will prevent section 2 from swinging round of its own
accord and knocking you off the ladder when the connection is undone.
G
Risk of accidents due to section 2 swinging
Make sure no persons or objects are within the slewing range of the swing-
away lattice and swing out the swing-away lattice from the base always
with the guide rope.
