DISASSEMBLY
5.1
PRIOR TO DISASSEMBLY
1.
Before disassembling the hoist, read and follow all the safety rules of this manual and related equipment used with
PRO Drive. Failure to do this can lead to equipment damage and/or serious personal injury.
2.
Ensure that the platform is not supporting any load before proceeding.
3.
Before dismantling, attach a tie rope to hold the platform in position at the base of the track.
4.
Ensure the track is securely tied to the roof with a rope fastened to a cross tie or top bracket to prevent track from
slipping.
5.
Check carefully for proximity of power lines or other overhead obstructions.
WARNING:
WEAR HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE. INSUFFICIENT HAND
PROTECTION WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
6.
Tie a safety line at least 5 feet long to the wire rope end to prevent any accidental drawing of the operator’s hand into
the winch during rewinding.
7.
Start the PRO Drive and
SLOWLY
lift the operator handle to rewind the wire rope. Ensure that the wire rope is
rewinding evenly on the drum. As the wire rope end approaches the drum, handle the wire rope only by the safety
line.
8.
When the wire rope end reaches the drum, release the operator handle, shut off the PRO Drive and remove the safety
line. Anchor the wire rope end on the drum with a light rope or tape.
9.
Remove the operator handle from the PRO Drive. Remove the lock pin from the hole provided and loosen the cross
tie lock by rotating it to the right. Then remove the PRO Drive from the cross ties.
WARNING:
NEVER LAY GAS POWERED PRO DRIVES DOWN. DOING SO CAN CAUSE GASOLINE
AND ENGINE OIL TO LEAK FROM THE UNIT AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY.
