position (see Figure 3. 35).

Remove the R clip from the sling retractable pin on the far bank carriage and retract the
captive pin.
3.9.8.3
Route the carriage slings through the end beam bridge lifting points and re-connect the
sling to the carriage. Ensure the sling straps do not cross and have not twisted. Ensure
that the carriage is level horizontally and vertically prior to lifting, with respect to the upper
part of the carriage.
NOTE
It is extremely important that the two carriage parts are in line vertically and horizontally,
failure to ensure correct alignment will result in the bottom half of the carriage becoming
jammed in the top half of the carriage when it is raised.

Make sure the retractable pin is fully located and secured with the R clip.
