MLC650 OPERATOR MANUAL SET-UP AND INSTALLATION
Continued from the previous page.
See Figure 4-63
for the following:
5. Remove the two large stop blocks (8) from the rotating
bed by removing the safety pins from the stop blocks.
NOTE: Do not remove the small bolt-on stop blocks (9).
6. Use the tag lines (4), and the assist crane, to position the
counterweight tray (3) at the back of the rotating bed (5)
so that the front vertical rollers (6) are contacting the
roller wear plates.
NOTE: While holding on to the tag lines, assistants shall
walk with the tray to help maintain the position of
the tray.
7. With the front vertical rollers (6) contacting the wear
plates, lower the assist crane until the counterweight
tray (3) is as horizontal as possible.
8. Slowly position the counterweight tray (3) using the
assist crane toward the front of the crane and position
the counterweight tray onto the rotating bed (5) to a point
where the first set of front horizontal rollers (7) on the
counterweight tray are contacting the sides (edge) of the
rotating bed.
9. With the help of assistants, properly align the tray to the
rotating bed.
Precise alignment is required to install the tray past the
point where the side rollers first contact the rotating bed.
10. Using assistants, tag lines, and the assist crane, slowly
draw the counterweight tray further onto the rotating bed
until the rear (vertical) rollers are contacting the wear
plates.
NOTE: During this process, the rear rollers should contact
and roll over the small rear bolt-on stop blocks (9).
