4 UNITS MOUNTING ON A PL-40S

Three or four units groups are easy to transport
by truck as we will see in this section. We will also
see the preparation.

Remove the front PL-40 pushing the triggers at
the same time. Hold the carriage before acting
on the triggers. The triggers are situated on both
sides of the enclosure.

This will be the first enclosure that we will stack
onto the PL-40S.

If we look at the platform we will see the two
security pins on the sides (see figure).

These pins allow to hold the first enclosure to
the platform.

Lift the enclosure by the handles and sit
it gently over the platform.

Remove the security pins and hold with
them the enclosure.

Warning: For transport, introduce
the pin in hole 0º at “Rear Link”.

Check that the four security pins are
well positioned.

Lets add another enclosure over the previous.

We need to look at the side controls of the
enclosure and act on them like in the figure.

Side controls

The hidden front and the rear rods on the side
will appear.

The front rod will fix in its position while the rear
one can move freely.

To fix its position in 0º (position for transport),
we will put one of the security pins in the hole ‘FIX
ANGLE’ like in the figure.

The side control has arrows which mark the
selected angle, in this case 0º.

The result, platform included, can be seen in
the figures below.

Lift the second enclosure and place it over the
first enclosure gently.

Remove the security pins on the sides of the
enclosure and hold the enclosure with them.

Warning: For transport, introduce the pin
in hole 0º at “Rear Link”.

Check that the four security pins are well
positioned.

Lift the third enclosure and place it over the
second one gently.

Repeat the process described before.

Warning: For transport, introduce the pin
in hole0º at “Rear Link”.

Check that the four security pins are well
positioned.

You can see the final result in the next figure.

ARRAY MOUNTING OF GROUPS OF 4 UNITS ON A PL-40S

The groups of 3 or 4 units are easy to transport by truck.

Lets see in this section how to mount an array of four units.

Firstly, mount the AX-aero40 onto the top
box.

To mount the AX-aero40 take out the rods
of the top unit.

See the result in the right figure.

Next, place the side pieces of the AX-
aero40 introducing the security pin like in the
figure below.

Check that the security pins are well
positioned because they will support the weight
of the rest of the enclosures.

With the help of the Ease Focus program we can
determine which point is the correct one to join the
side pieces with the bar of AX-aero40, with the
help of the security pins.

If we use two lift motors, we will use a second
Pick Up AX-aero40 which joins through the same
way to the pinpoint marked by Ease Focus.

Check that the security pins are well
positioned.

At last, hook the lift motor. In case two lift motors are needed, hook each one to each Pick Up AX-aero40.

Like in every security operation, use adecuate security elements.
