When unrigging –
section 2
When unrigging the 17 m (56 ft) swing-away lattice, you must swing
section 2 to section 1 from the side.
H
Check whether the electrical connection between section 1 and section 2
has been undone before you swing section 2 to section 1. It is difficult to
access the electrical connection after swinging section 2.
• 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
a second guide rope (1) to prevent it from swinging around.
• Undo the left-hand connection between section 2 and section 1;
à p. 3 - 59.
• Swing section 2 to the side of section 1 with the guide rope.
• Secure section 2 against swinging around.
Have a helper hold the guide rope tight or fasten it to the bottom of
section 1.
• Move the connection in the Middle area into the Section 1 / section 2 posi-
tion;
à p. 3 - 42.
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 ground always
with the guide rope.
G
Risk of accidents due to section 2 swinging of its own accord
Secure section 2 always with a guide rope before you establish the connec-
tion between section 1 and section 2 and only position the ladder on the
left-hand 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.
