STEP 2 - PRE-ASSEMBLY / TOOLS REQUIRED
2.1
Read this entire Operator’s Manual
before
beginning installation of the G-Force®.
2.2
Tools and materials (by others) typically needed to install/assemble a G-Force® are as follows:
• 5mm Allen wrench
• 19mm hex socket
• 8mm Allen wrench
• Plastic cable tie straps
• 2.5mm Allen wrench
• Ladders/man lifts
• 6mm Allen wrench (1320 lb. only)
• 10mm wrench

STEP 3 - ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
3.1
The standard G-Force® will come with the wheels
pre-assembled to the actuator trolley (
diagram 3A
).
When a Gorbel® G-Force® is to be used on a
non-Gorbel® bridge system, a universal adapter trolley is
required (
diagram 3B
).
Note:
The customer must provide
two (2) hoist trolleys when the unit will run in a
non-Gorbel® bridge system.
3.2
Ensure the power cord from the actuator is facing the
festooning side of the bridge/monorail. Remove the end
stop from the bridge and install the G-Force® actuator into
the track. Immediately reinstall the end stop. Verify that
the G-Force® trolley wheels are correct for the style and
capacity track that the unit is being installed on by rolling
the actuator assembly along the full length of the bridge to
ensure that the travel is smooth throughout.
