Unload Air Cart
The ADC2350B is normally ordered with an 3N-
4010HDA drill, and delivered on two or more flatbed
trucks. Un-installed components may be on the air cart
truck, the drill truck (single-truck delivery), or on a sepa-
rate truck.
Note: The ADC2350B is loaded for lift delivery.
Hoist
b
is not recommended.
Do not attempt dock unload.
!
CAUTION
Have at least four people available for the lift:
- a qualified operator for each forklift,
- an observer to monitor side-to-side level, and
- the truck driver.
Establish and practice commands for the observer to signal
each operator for lift, stop, drive, lower, as well as emergency
procedures. If these operators have not previously performed a
team lift, have them practice simultaneous lift, face-to-face
with no load.
Refer to Figure 2
1. Have the truck parked where it can be driven out
from under an elevated air cart, and where two fork
lifts can approach the cart from each side.
2. Use fork lifts or hoists to remove everything except
the air cart from the truck. This will include wheels for
the air cart, and may include crates of drill parts, the
drill rear hitch weldment and un-installed options. Do
not install any components on the air cart while still
on the truck.
Lift Air Cart on Truck
Use two fork lifts, each rated for at least 4900 pounds
(2223 kg). Have two cargo straps at hand.
3. Spread the forks on each lifter as wide as possible.
Have each lift approach the cart near the ladder.
!
CAUTION
With typical fork spreads, the load is still heavier at the front
end of the cart.
Refer to Figure 3
4. Place the forks under the lower side frame tubes, on
either side of the ladder, and as far forward on the air
cart as possible.
This places the back fork /B\ as close to the ladder
as possible.
5. Secure the back fork to the frame tube with a cargo
strap.
6. Lift the cart about a foot (30cm).
7. Signal the driver to pull the truck away.
8. Lower the cart to the ground.
Locate Parts
9. Review the Parts Lists beginning on page 39. Deter-
mine which crates or cartons contain the items.
b. Hopper damage is likely if hoisting is attempted.
