Step 6: Connecting the lifting equipment 

1.  Lift the gin-pole up into a vertical position as much as the connection cable allows it.  

2.  Take the cable end with the hook and connect it to a lifting equipment. A tractor or a car with 

a  winch can be  used  in order to achieve at least 3000 kg of pulling  force (see  Figure  11). If 

you are using a car with a winch, make sure that the car has all the brakes applied at all times 

and is anchored to a strong point. The winch on the car must have a functional brake. 

! IMPORTANT: 

Keep the lifting cable under pressure all the time to prevent the gin-pole from 

falling down.  

In  this  manual  two  different  tower  levelling  techniques  are  presented.  In 

Step  8

  of  this  chapter,  a 

technique  with  the  simple  sprit  level  is  presented.  In  case  you  have  acquired  or  your  distributor 

possesses ITS-2-45 dual axis inclinometer, please follow the guideline in 

Annex 1

 before proceeding 

to 

Step 7

 and in that case skip 

Step 8

.

– Connecting the lifting equipment 

Step 7: Test lifting the tower 

1.  Check that all the tower segments are firmly connected together and to the base plate. Check 

that the gin-pole is connected to the 1

st

 segment. Check that all the shackles and cables are 

firmly  secured  to  the  segments,  gin-pole  and  lifting  equipment.  Clear  all  the  uninvolved 

persons from the area. 

! IMPORTANT: 

DO NOT raise the tower with a turbine until you have 

raised and  lowered the tower  without a turbine. Never stand  near  or under the tower or  gin-

pole when raising or lowering the tower. 

2.  Raise the tower slowly 

– carefully observing the tension in the cables. If your lifting equipment 

does not have enough power or begins to slip, stop the lifting process immediately and gently 

lower the tower back to the ground.  DO NOT perform any pumping movement to gain more 

power. 

3.  Raise  the  tower  until  nearly  vertical  but  with  tension  still  on  the  lift  cable  (see  Figure  12). 

Second  person  can  now  catch  the  gin-pole  and  lower  it  gently  to  the  ground  by  applying 

downward  pressure.  DO NOT allow the  gin-pole to crash to the ground, this  will but serious 

strain on the system. 

!  IMPORTANT: 

Continue applying pressure on the gin-pole, till at least 

2 tower bolts are fixed.
