Alternate Anchoring
Use tie-off points on machine (shown) in situations where anchors cannot be used or in combination with
the anchors in situations where additional anchoring is needed. Contact a rigging specialist for assistance
with this process to ensure the rigging can withstand potential forces.
1. Use front alternate anchoring option (1) when backreaming. Connect chain to pin and run straight
forward from machine.
2. Use rings located on front of anchor frame (2) to anchor machine when drilling out. Connect a chain to
each ear and run straight back from machine.
NOTICE:
• If using remote tie-offs instead of anchors, additional grounding of the machine will need to
be done using kit 100-794.
• Avoid drill string when implementing remote tie-off option.
• Rigging must be able to withstand forces of up to 60,000 lb (267kN).
NOTICE: Ensure that pin is secure before attaching chain to it.
NOTICE: Looping the chain through the ears will cause damage to the frame.
