2.44m Alfablocs must only be lifted with an
approved lifting attachment or with a suitable
lifting chain if lifting loops are to be used in
accordance with safety instructions. |
 |
Once secured to the forklift tines, the
lifting attachment is inserted into the hollow
of the A to lift the Alfabloc. |
 |
Alfablocs are delivered upright on a flatbed
vehicle. |
 |
These strapless units should always be
used to begin installation of each new row
of Alfablocs. This allows the first Alfabloc in
a row to be placed flat against a
retaining wall. |
 |
Always lift Alfablocs into position with the
connecting straps facing away from the
forklift i.e. towards the installed units. |
 |
Align the Alfabloc
installed unit. |
 |
Lift the Alfabloc approximately 450mm
from ground level to enable you to lower it
into place over installed unit. |
 |
Once in position lower the Alfabloc into place
so that the connecting straps fit securely over
the installed unit. |
 |
To secure Alfablocs in place, first loosen
the bolts in the 2 connecting straps of the
freshly installed unit. |
 |
Align the holes in the front edge of the
connecting straps with the holes in the
previously installed unit. Insert bolts and
tighten to secure the Alfabloc in place. |
 |
Re-tighten the previously loosened bolts in
the newly installed unit. |
 |
Repeat the process (steps 5-11) until the
desired number of units are installed in
each row. |
 |
Attach steel end cover, if required, by
bolting into the holes in the last unit
installed in each row. |
 |
If required, a steel corner section can be attached to an Alfabloc in place of the connecting straps. This allows Alfablocs to be placed at right angles to one another forming a secure sealed corner. (16) |
 |
Alfablocs fitted with corner sections are moved into position the same way as normal blocks fitted with connecting straps. |
 |
Position the corner unit against an existing Alfabloc wall and lower into position. |
