CHAPTER 6

The Power Tower can be hinged forward for clearance purposes.
Normally one of the switches at the helm area is designated as arch or
tower. It connects to a lift motor and a set of hydraulic rams that raise
or lower the Power Tower when the switch is activated.
Make sure the operator and all aboard read and understand the above warning.
Before energizing the arch switch. Explain to all passengers that they must maintain
a safe distance from the tower hinge mechanisms located at the base of the power
tower on the deck.
As the operator energizes the switch to hinge the
tower forward visually monitor the port and starboard deck to ensure
all passengers body parts are clear of the hinge mechanism. This same
procedure applies for lowering the mechanism to the original position.
The Power Tower features an actuator control box. This component is
located in the sump (bilge). The unit provides over current protection
through a set of breakers on the face of the actuator box. Facing the
box the left reset breaker protects the port power tower lift actuator. The
center reset breaker protects the starboard power tower lift actuator.
The far right breaker protects the entire circuit wiring. If the Power
Tower fails to raise check the box for an “open” breaker. Always
fi nd
the cause of an open breaker situation before resetting the device.
