1. Lay out the fold down mechanisms in position loosely on the deck, using the job package drawings.
Manual - Each beam will get two mechanisms per beam. Determine the spacing of mechanisms using the job package drawings.
Available spacing’s for Manual operation include: 16”, 22”, 34”, 44”, 57” & 70”.
Lift-Assist & Auto-Fold - Each beam will have a minimum of two mechanisms per beam. Determine the spacing for mechanisms using the job
package drawings.
Available spacing’s for Lift-Assist or Auto-Fold operation include: 16”, 22”, 34” & 44”.
* On gangs of 2 or 3 chairs, the mechanisms will be a combination of one mechanism with a gas strut and one
mechanism without.
