12. stops are most effective on a two boom non motorized system to keep the system from over rotating Another reason the installer may desire to use them on a more than two boom system is to keep the track from hitting the mast There may be other concerns the installer should consider such as facility obstructions etc The stop is normally placed on the folding side of the upper bracket as shown see sketch During system operation the head of the bolt sticking out will hit a portion of the bracket and thus limit rotation of the system Installing the second stop on a different boom could keep the track from hitting the booms although this is not required Again the installer should use his her discretion weather or not the stops are need as every case is different The use of a limit switch for example may be all that an installer desires to use If installing the stops to save time install during structure boom installation see page 8 Note that different length bracket to column bolts may be required bolts are not included If retrofitted properly secure weight of structure with an overhead hoist or other means before removing bracket bolts to help avoid injury 1T UPPER BRACKETS UPPER BRACKETS SVING DIRECTIDN BOLT DN PLATE P N 8 0141 DR 8 0151 NUT HEX JAM 5 8 1INC OR NUT HEX JAM 3 4 10NC BDLT 5 8 1INC 1 1 2 OR BOLT 3 4 10NC 27 ADJUSTABLE LOCK BDLT 9 8 11NC X 2 G
