4. Wheel the Grasshopper over the load and tilt
forward so it rests on it’s nose. Walk up the length
of the Grasshopper holding onto the frame to keep
the nose tilted forward.
5. Hold the nose of the Grasshopper down by placing
a foot on the lifting hook.
6. Slide one end of the front chain under the pipe and
attach to the sliding chain block hook on the other
side of the Grasshopper. Secure all excess chain
to the chain block to keep it from dragging on the
ground.
CautIOn
Failure to properly connect chain to
chain blocks may result in load being
prematurely released.
7. Lower the handled end of the Grasshopper, lifting
the front end of the load.
CautIOn
the weight of the load on the front
end will cause the back end of the
Grasshopper to raise. If necessary,
use assistance to hold the
Grasshopper down while connecting
rear chain from sliding chain block.
8. While holding down the handle end, line up the
sliding chain block to leave at least a foot before the
end of the pipe.
Slide one end of the chain under the load and
attach it to the sliding chain block hook on the other
side of the Grasshopper.
