It is very important that extreme oare be taken in beoause improper ereotion may cause unneoessary wear and faulty operation 01' the machine. The inetruotions tor the ereotion of the machine are divided into the following p;roupl8
1. Seleotion of tooh

3.. Air tools oil" Eleotrioal tooh
It is reoommended that a small tool room be erect'.d lilt the erection site for the proteotion of the tools. drawings, etc.

EHECTION OF riiACHlNE
The approximate breakdown of units and parts of the maohine as it will be shipped, for export only, is shown in\the "Approximate Packing List for Type 7400 Diesel Walking Dragline" whioh is included as atta.chment 2 in the back of the manual. YVnen, the,maohine is shipped from the fa.otory all pieoes are matchmaX'ked for correot assembly by small stamped numbers and paint. ·iVhen assembling the maohine all bearing surfaoes should be thoroughly cleened and lubrioated with, the oil or grease recommended for that pa.rticular bearing as indioated in "Reool11mcmdod Lubrioants for Merion Excavators and Cranes" whioh is included us ettaohment 3 in the baok of this manuel. This also applies to all external gears, gear oases, and

It is reoommended that the following prooedure be used in erectine; the mnohine.
1. Assomble lower frame or tub.
a. Build a orib, preferably of railroad ties, approximately 30 n high to allow for riveting and bolting undernea.th tub.
b. Place center seotion on crib.
c. Pluce outer sections and pull seotions together. Align and bolt. Tub should be leve18d and oirole rail bearing surface be checked for levelness with transit.
d. Iteam and rivet tub completely.
e. Bolt on wearing plates and oleats,
f. Remove oribbing and lower tub to ground., (If the machine in the winter, it may'be advisable to lower the tub to a ma.t of timber, olear of the .cleats, under the edgo of the tub, to prevent freezing the tub to the ground,)
2, Install gear segments being sure to follow matoh" markings.
3. Install lower circle rail and bolt to tub using wedge washers under nut.
4. Install Q,enter. journal.

6•. Install upper circle rails on the roller oircle in such a position that boom end of upper frame will be pointed toward derrick (as Bhown on Drawing No.
7. Burn off lifting lugs and grind smooth.
*ssemble sections of rotating frame.
a. In assembling the upper frame the electrician should installl the conduit, Wiring and electric·al equipment simultaneously with erectors to avoid being blocked out.
b. Place center section of upper frame. Be sure center journal is well greased and shear blocks welded in place before placing center section over it.
c. Block up front of center section on the gear segments to make easier installation of front girder.
d. Assemble main rotating shaft and rotating gear case on side sections of upper frame (Right and Left).
e. Place right and left side sections, pull each into center section, align and bolt for riveting. On placing the side sections, pinions on main rotating shafts must be meshed with main rotating rack on the tub which is best accomplished by turning medn gear in gear case.
f. Place I01Ner superstructure and front and rear girders. This will not include any of the cross members ror they willinterrere with lowering the machinery from above. Align all membel"R and bolt for r:5.veting.
g. Install right and left wing sections and bolt for riveting.
h. Install rear ballast 'box and bolt for riveting.
i. Ream where necessary and rivet rotating frame complete.
9. Build secure crib under· rear of machine to support ballast and machiner;r.
10. Install ballast as indicated on the blueprint' supplied with the erection prints by our Engineers. Ballast should be distributed in accordance with these instructions so that the mechine will be properly balan.ced when in operation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROIS
v-]hen the operator is seated as though operating the machine, the Throttle and Auxiliary Control Valves are to his right and at elbow height. From front to rear of the vertioal hand levers; first is the Throttle Control" next is the Engine Clutch Control, then the Propel Jaw Clutch Control" and last is the Propel Brake Control. Below" QJ1d between the Throttle and the Engine Clutch Control, is t/hs Automatic WaJ..ldng Selector Valve with a horizontal lever.
'V>1hile cligging,the Automatic Walking Selector Valve must be set at LOCAL which gives the operator direct control of the Diesel Engine except that the Governor w.:i.ll maintain proper Engine Speed when the Throttle is at MAX. The three posHiions for the Throttle Control Lever (front to rear) are STOP (throttle closed), '(idllng), and MAX. (Full throttle). The Engine may be stopped by moving the Throttle Control Lever forward to the STOP position. When the Throttle Control Lever is in the perpendicular position (MIN) the Engine will idle at its :m.:i..n:i.nnlm speed.. This position may be used" of operation is temporariliv suspended" or if engaging or disengaging the Propel (''lutch@ Full power for digging be had by moving the Throttle Control 'Lever rearlliT81"d to the l1AX" positione In the 11AX<II position the engine speed is controlled by the Engine GoverIlor. For best rasuJ.ts, erl"atic mo-vements of the Throttle Control Lever are to be avoided.
When the Automatic "Talking Selector Valve is to be at REt-lOTE. Wf.t.en the Automatic Wa,1ldng Seleotor Valve is set, REMOTE" the speed and power ot the Diesel Engine is regulated" by nlerulS .0£ a C1l.M on the Main Propel Shafts; to suit the walking cycle. Thus ma.ximumpower is applled for the part of the walking step when the machine is lifted" and a. rn:i.n:i.mu.nt of power is applied for the part of the walking step when the madrine is Bet down, which retards and cushions this part of the step. To prepare the machine for wa.lking, move the throttle Control Lever to MIN., disengage the Engine Clutch" and engage the Propel Jaw Clutch. (The Hoist-Drag Controller IIi.1.Ui!t be a.t Neutral while walld.ng). To propel or waJk the machine" sinmltaneousl,Y engage the Engine Clui:.ch and lIlDYEl the Automatic Walking Selector Valve to REMOTE. To stop the machine (when walking) simultaneously disengage the Engine Clutch, and move the Automatic Walking Selector VaJ.ve to LOCAL. To prepare the machine for digging", disengage the Propel Clutch" enga.ge the Engine and move the Throttle Control Lever to MAX. '
The Engine Clutch Control llll..'lSt. be at the IN (engaged) position when digging and when pl"opellingo The Engine Clutch Control mus t be at the OUT (dis en... gaged) positicm. beiore attempting to engage or disengage the Propel Olutch", The Engine Clutch is air engaged" spring disengaged.
The Propel Olutch Control Wi\Y be moVed to the IN 'engaged.) position only when the engine clutch is disengaged" and the Throttle should be at MIN. for best results. It:may be necessary to ft joggle" the Engine Clutch to attain proper matching of the Propel Clutch Jaws. The rropel Clutch Control must be at our (disengaged) when digging. The Propel Clutch is air engaged, spring disengaged.
