IFF ADVANCED RIGGING 2C Friction Pantograph Top
FRICTION PANTOGRAPH
The friction pantograph is made of oluminum (P-AI MgSi UNI 3569) and
monufactured according to DIN 15560-46.
The load is supported by a steel cable of 2 mm diameter (safety foctor 12).
loads up to 12 kg (26.4 lbs) can be suspended using only the patented friction
device, while loads up to a maximum of 18 kg (39.7 lbs) require the use of the
optional springs.
In any cose, it is always advisable to use the springs to aid raising your
pontogroph. To choose the proper one please refer to chapter “CHOOSING ANO
INSTALLING A SPRING”.

FRICTION ADJUSTMENT
The pantograph con be regulated ta keep suspended loads from 1 kg (2.2 lbs) ta
18 kg (39.7 lbs) pertectly balanced. By turning the notched ring “X”, you con
adjust the pantograph’s friction; this will ensure that the load remains
stable when set in position, but that it will move smoothlyup and down when
necessary.
PLEASE NOTE: The friction mechanism does NOT help lih the load, it only
holds the load in the desired position and stops it from dropping
downwards. Use the appropriate springs to help with load lifting. For further
information, please refer to the chapter “Choosing and Installing Additional
Springs”.
Insert the appropriate spring in housing “A” and block it with nuts “V” using
appropriate wrench.
Use the hook “L” to pull the spring head over stud “P”. Block it with screw
“S” to guarantee that the spring con not unhook itself and to ensure that the
pantograph adheres to safety regulations.
While the spring hook-up operation is very simple, it can be dangerous if not
carried out with care.
Note: We advise you to wear work gloves and only hook up the spring with
the pantograph in the closed position.
CHOOSING AND INSTALLING ADDITIONAL SPRINGS
When choosing the additional spring (s) for your pantograph, you will first
need ta know exactty which model of pantograph you
hove, in order that you con select the spring of the correct length. If you
hove one of the new compact pantographs (with grey-pointed “scissors”), look
at the colour of notched ring “X” (see chapter “Friction Adjustment”): the 2m
(79″) version hos o red notched ring, while the 3.8m (l 50″) version hos a
blue notched ring. After having identified the length of the pantograph,
choose the appropriate spring/springs by refering to the table below.

CABLE AND HOLDING CLIPS
- Mount the supplied coble-holding clips as shown.
- With the pantograph closed, pass the power coble through the clips and secure it with coble ties (not supplied).
- Recommended coble ties from 3 to 4,5mm width.
MAINTENANCE
To ensure your Pantograph continues to work correctly and safely, you must
make the following regular checks:
Every 6 months:
Check that the steel wire and counterweight springs (if installed) ore in good
condition – that they ore not kinked or twisted and that they show no sign of
cuts/breaks or other irregularities. Check that all screws on counterweight
springs ore tight.
Check that all the fixing screws on top and bottom attachments ore tight and
that the pantograph is firmly fixed to the supporting structure. If required,
lubricate connecting points of the double scissor as indicated in figure 7,
use a dry lubricant such as PFTE(Teflon). Never lubricate the friction drum or
coble
Note: All the operations above described and al operations necessary for
the use of the pantograph must be carried out by trained staff.

insert the mole attachment “X” on the hole “G” and release the button. lock
firmly knob “H”: ensure that the knob is able to seat in the recessed safety
groove on the mole attachment (fig. l 0)
Button “M” serves as safety catch, but it is strongly recommend to secure the
load with appropriate safety coble (not supplied).

hand, unlock the knob “H” and then depress button “M”.
ALUMINUM CLAMP FOR PIPE DIAM 42-;-52MM (1·1/4″ -;-2″)
FIX THE PANTOGRAPH ONTO THE BARREL
Unscrew wing nut “N” to release mobile iow “K”. Fix the clomp onto the barrel
by using the rod “Q” and the wing nut “N”
BOTTOM ATTACHMENT
28MM – (l-1/8″) FEMALE ATTACHMENT
Loose knob ‘T’ until 28 mm (l l /8″) luminair spigot can be fully inserted
into the clomp. Insert the 28 mm (l l /8″) luminoir spigot on the female
onochment “R” until it protrudes as shown in figure 12.
The spigot hos on hole drilled through it, into which you should insert the
safety pin “U” in such a way that it protrudes equally from both sides of the
28 mm (l 1/8″) spigot.
Now lift the clomp so that the safety pin “U” seats captive in the recessed
depression “Y” and tempororily holds the weight of the luminoir. Then tighten
the locking lever “T” firmly against the recessed sofety grove on the spigot.
