Removing the front crossbeam
Attach the front crossbeam [1] to the crane with the round sling [2]
and tension it slightly. Note the position of the centre of gravity.
For versions with assembly opening on the rear of the crossbeam:
Loosen the screws [5] and remove them together with the cover [6].
For versions with spacer plates [4]: Loosen
three screwed connections [3] on each side. Remove the
spacer plates [4] first. Then remove the screwed connections [3].
Remove the front crossbeam [1]. Set it down outside the machine's
working area so that the scraper [7] can be removed.
Mounting the first padfoot shell
Attach one half of a shell [1] on the mounting bracket [2] to the crane
with the chain [3]. Let it slide along the drum to the ground from
above.
Use a crowbar to align the half of the shell [1] on the ground so that it
is flush with both ends of the drum.
