Info

such as swivels or multi-sheave pulleys, but again, is suitable for all types of rescue gear. The wide yoke is also preferred for use with pulleys when shifting loads may side load a pulley restricted by the narrow yoke (fig 14). Best Practice: When changing out gear there is no need to fully remove the main attachment pin from the yoke as it can be temporarily parked in the last attachment hole. This facilitates the ease of using both hands to maneuver the gear into the yoke and then sliding the pin back through the entire yoke area. Fig 15 Release Button Fig 16 Left pin – retired due to wear and detent pins not properly working; Right pin – in good working condition Care & Maintenance: Clean parts with water rinse and wipe dry. Clean parts last longer and assemble easier. Check that release button moves freely (fig 15) and that locking detent pins move in and out with release button (fig 16). Check proper pin engagement in yoke by attempting to pull the main attachment pin out of the yoke without depressing the release button; if removable without depressing button, do not use and retire pin immediately (Part number 230311) Check that pin is not bent or dented by installing pin into yoke; it should move freely in and out when release button is depressed. Warnings: • Do not run a moving rope directly over the main attachment pin. This may cause excessive wear on the pin and/or cause the pin to roll and potentially cause wear damage in the yoke attachment holes • Retire main attachment pin if button or ball detents do not return to “popped” out position once released • Do not use load attachment pin that is bent or does not function properly TerrAdaptor Users Manual (Dec 2008) 15
Auxiliary Attachment Points There are three Auxiliary Attachment Points on a tripod head that are suitable for clipping carabiners and other rigging gear into (fig 17). Do not clip into the head angle adjustment holes as these are not designed as load bearing connection points. Fig 17 Head Auxiliary attachment points Care & Maintenance: Clean parts with water rinse and wipe dry. Clean parts last longer and assemble easier. Warnings: • Do not clip into head angle adjustment holes Head Assembly – <strong>Tripod</strong>, Quadpod, A-Frame/Bi-Pod The TerrAdaptor <strong>Tripod</strong> head consists of a Main Plate with a single attached Half Plate. A Quadpod head consists of a main plate with two half plates. Half plates can remain attached to the main plate even if they are not used in the configuration. Half plates are attached to the main plate with the Yoke facing down. Attach the half plate to the main plate with 4 socket head bolts (1-1/4” long for tripod configuration and 1-3/4” long for a quadpod configuration). To remove half plates, loosen and remove all 4 bolts, then separate half plates from main plate. Fig 18 Half Plate attachment to Main Plate To attach half plates, clean all parts (including nuts and bolts) then select bolts (long for quadpod or short for tripod) and insert all 4 bolts and hand tighten into nylon locking nuts. Then tighten all 4 bolts to 450 in/lbs and check that assembly is tightly mated and that the bolt protrudes beyond flush on all four bolts. TerrAdaptor Users Manual (Dec 2008) 16
