K1 — Preparing K1-BUMP

Preparing the K1-BUMP rigging bar inside K-BUMPFLIGHT before it is used to build and fly a K1 array. Reference: LA-K1-BUMP-PREP-01. Follow in order — this is a sequential rigging procedure, not an independent checklist; steps depend on the ones before them.

Rigging accessories needed: K1-BUMP, 4× 22 mm shackles WLL 3.25 t, K1-DELTA (optional), K1-BPCHAIN (optional, WLL 3.15 t, required for a climbing-hoist setup).
Minimum 2 operators.
Systematically ensure each ball-locking pin is fully inserted by pulling on it, throughout.
To avoid physical handling, K1-BUMP must be transported and prepared inside K-BUMPFLIGHT.
An identification sticker at the front of K1-BUMP identifies front vs. rear.

Preparing K1-BUMP

Place K-BUMPFLIGHT at the rigging location, remove the lid, and remove the first compartment. On each side of the K1-BUMP rigging bar, remove the storage ball-locking pin and secure it in the rigging bar. Remove the two rigging ball-locking pins. Put the K1-BUMP rigging bar into rigging position: lift the K1-BUMP rigging bar using the motor, rotate K-BUMPFLIGHT and align the K1-BUMP rigging frame holes with the rigging bar holes, then lower and position the rigging bar onto the K1-BUMP rigging frame. Secure the K1-BUMP rigging bar using the two rigging ball-locking pins. Optional: secure K1-BPCHAIN to the front external shackle, and K1-DELTA to the rear external shackle. Lift K1-BUMP using the motor.
