3.2 Constructing an Array
Assembly and deployment of a flying system array is carried out using one
of the following methods.
3.2a
One Box at a Time
With this method, after attaching the suspension frame to the first box, each
box is rolled up to the rear of the frame on its wheelboard and attached one
at a time, first attaching the rear points. The front of the cabinet is
physically swung up and the front points attached. The wheelboard is then
removed. The process is then repeated for the next box.
Using one motor, bridled (if using two motors, go to Step 1a below)
Step 1
Attach the chain motor bridle to the suspension frame and raise the frame
so that it is approximately 2.5 metres from the ground and horizontal.
Caution should be exercised by personnel near the unloaded frame as it
will tilt to one side because its own centre of gravity is not on the same line
as the pick-up points.
Step 2
Roll the first box under the frame, flip it over onto its runners (skids),
manoeuvre it into position under the frame and remove its wheelboard.
Remove the pins at the front of the frame which secure its captive tongues.
Lower the frame onto the top box, locating the front tongues within the front
rigging assembly. Secure the tongues in position with the quick release pin.
Note that a pin is locked when its central button is out.
