Plumbing the Guide Tubes
 Locate and anchor the Operators Console guarding per the drawings.
 The Lumber Cart guides and Perimeter Guarding should not be installed until the Gantry is positioned on
the Runway. This is covered in the final assembly section.

4.4 FINAL ASSEMBLY

CAUTION - SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE UNLESS THE GANTRY BRAKE SPRING IS
UN-CAGED. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND SEE SECTION 6.7 SAFETY BRAKE
 Lift the Gantry carefully from the underside with a forklift high enough that the upper wheels will just
slip over the upper track on the Runway. Raising it too high will cause the lower wheels to interfere with
the Cable Carrier support channel. Check to see that the brake plunger is properly in place. Drive the
forklift towards the Runway at an angle until the wheels are positioned properly. It may be necessary to
lift slightly on the outer end of the Gantry while lowering the forklift to engage the wheels. Check to see
that the Gantry rolls freely. Check the bottom horizontal surface of the Gantry to see if it is level. Adjust
the lower wheel bolts until it is level. Check to see that both wheels are adjusted evenly by trying to turn
them opposite directions. If one of the wheels slips (rotates) it should be tightened slightly so that both
lower wheels are loaded evenly. Remove the cage bolt from the brake chamber and store it in the holder
provided on the side of the chamber. Failure to remove the bolt will disable the brake and may cause
machine damage, serious injury or death. You will be instructed to test the proper operation of the
brake later in this section and on a daily basis in the maintenance section.
 The Lumber Cart guides and Perimeter Guarding should now be positioned and anchored to the floor,
using installation drawings provided. It is imperative that the Perimeter Guard is properly installed so
that no personnel can enter the Hazardous Zone without passing through the Safety Light Curtain.
 Fasten the Cable Carrier to the Gantry with the bolts provided and route the wires and airline through
the keepers located on the Gantry.
