Figure 10:

Flying with Front Dollies

The two boxes must be held parallel during the installation of the rigging hinge. If there is a slight vertical misalignment that causes the hinge to bind during installation, either the suspended box or the box on the dolly may be manually lifted to facilitate the hinge installation. Once both rear hinges are secured, the array is lifted until the box on the Front Dolly is no longer contacting the ground.

The Front Dolly is then removed from the bottom box. Do not attach the front Xvsl rigging straps yet on the bottom box. The array is then raised and another box on a Front Dolly is rolled into position from behind the array. The two Xvhl linking hinges are then simultaneously installed in the rigging on the suspended box and the box on the dolly as previously described.
