Swinging the swing-away lattice during rigging

When rigging the 10 m (33 ft) or 17 m (56 ft) swing-away lattice, you must
swing section 1 in front of the main boom head.
•
Check that the following conditions are met:
– The connection on the right-hand side of the main boom has been
à
established;
– The lattice extension is secured with a guide rope to the front of
à
section 1; p. 3 - 27.
– The connections have been undone which, according to the checklist
titled Rigging the 10 m (33 ft) / 17 m (56 ft) swing-away lattice , have to be
undone for the swing-away lattice currently installed before swinging;
à
p. 3 - 16, point 8. to point 13.
Risk of accidents due to the swing-away lattice swinging of its own accord
Secure the swing-away lattice always with a guide rope before swinging it.
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.

•
Carefully raise the lattice extension completely from the ground with the
hand-held control;
– If the holder (2) on section 1 has now been completely lowered out of
the slewing axis (1), the lattice extension starts to swing.
– If the holder (2) still reaches into the slewing axis (1), you must undo
the connection in the Front area;
If a helper is holding the guide rope, he can now swing the swing-away lat-
tice in front of the main boom head.
If you are alone and have attached the guide rope to the crane when secur-
ing, the swing-away lattice now only swings until the guide rope is tight.
You can now swing the swing-away lattice in front of the main boom head
with the guide rope.
You may have to initiate the swinging procedure by pulling the guide rope.
