OPERATION
Straddle Extension - Components
The AM-SE Straddle Extension can be set up by one person
without tools. The AM-SE consists of eight (8) structural compo-
nents.
1. Two (2) extendable side lifting rails.
2. Two (2) end straddle supports on locking swivel caster
wheels, each with lifting winch and winch cables, out-
rigger interlock - retractable cable reel and quick-
release safety pins.
3. Four (4) short outrigger beams which interconnect the
straddle extension side lifting rails with the AM base
outrigger sockets.
Mounting - Straddle Extension to AM
(See Figure 5-4.)
1. Near work area find a suitable area large enough to
assemble the AM machine to the Straddle Extension.
2. Insert one (1) of the short outrigger beams into an
outrigger socket in the AM base. Push it in until the
locking pin secures the beam in place.
3. Next, slide a side lifting rail onto the short outrigger
beam.
4. Align the side lifting rail with the other AM outrigger
socket on this side of the machine and install another
short outrigger beam. Push the short beam in until
the locking pin in the AM base secures the beam in
place.
5. Mount the remaining side lifting rail to the other side
of the AM machine repeating steps 2, 3 and 4.
6. Mount a straddle end support by aligning the two ver-
tical rails of the end support with the adjust bracket
opening on ends of the side lifting rails.
NOTE: For added stability of the end support, lock the castor
wheels on the bottom of the support so they are parallel
with the outrigger sockets.
7. Insert end support vertical rails into the adjust brack-
ets (in against the slide pads), and insert an adjust
bracket end cap (with slide pad against vertical rail)
into the slot on the adjust brackets on both side rails.
8. Secure end caps with the quick-release pin wired to
the end cap.
9. Repeat steps 6, 7 and 8 to mount the other straddle
end support.
10. Attach the winch lift cable clevis ends to the lifting
lugs, using the quick-release pins attached to winch
cables.
