E6 – Repair/Replace Emergency Shut-Off with Pull Cord
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Use extreme caution when performing internal servicing on the hoist.
Ensure that the battery has been disconnected before starting.
The Emergency Shut-Off/Down with Pull Cord is a safety function that either cuts all power
coming from the battery to the rest of the hoist or allows the hoist to emergency lower. When the
cord is pulled and released the switch activates and all functions of the hoist cease to operate.
When the cord is pulled to full extension and held tight, the emergency lower function is activated.
Because the Emergency switch is to be used only in the event of a hoist malfunction, it can only
be reset after a qualified technician has inspected the hoist. Once the hoist has been verified to
work properly, the switch should be pushed in to re-activate all hoist functions and restore power
from the battery. If there are no problems with the hoist and the Emergency Shut-Off with pull
cord is either not shutting off the power to the hoist and/or restoring power to the hoist once
pressed in, follow the below procedure to replace the switch.
1.
Remove the hoist cover per section B1, Getting Access to the Transactive-Xtra.
2.
Access the Emergency shutoff switch on the hoist’s bottom panel (with the strap opening)
by following steps 1 – 10 as per section E5.
3.
Verify that the plastic arm with pull cord moves freely and does move the switch lever from
the open to closed, to emergency down position. Second, verify that the wires are
connected. If the switch still does not operate, it must be replaced.
4.
Using a 3mm Allen Key remove the angle bracket that secures the switch to the bottom
panel.
5.
Using you fingers, unscrew the large threaded nut from the switch, to release the switch
from the angle bracket.
6.
Cut the cable tie of the switch harness; replace switch, re-assemble and test.
