11.)Weld the operating lever to the right hand bearing shaft in a horizontal position. (see
drawing TD102)
12.)Bolt the fingers in position (see figure 14 for fixing configuration) between the finger
supports
13.)Connect the tope portion of the tie rods to the cams’ lower holes, and the bottom portion
to the fingers.
14.)With the finger – in their lowered position (i.e. resting on the tray support (base) and the
operating lever horizontal, clamp the top and bottom portions of the tie rods together
(See figure 27)
15.)Check the operation of the lifting mechanisms. All the fingers should move exactly
together i.e. when one finger horizontal, all horizontal; when one finger raised fully, all
raised fully. If all the fingers do not move together equally, then make small adjustments
to the lengths of the tie rods. When all fingers are correctly positioned, weld top and
bottom portions of the tie rods together.
