VIII. OPENING CAR GATES
1.
Roll the GO-A13-HA Opener up to the hopper gate until you "rough spot"
position the Opener's output drive with the Railcar Gate's Capstan Socket.
2.
Using the CAPSTAN SWAGE TOOL (optional accessory, PN: 33-11120),
clean-out and square-up the Capstan Socket on the Car Gate so that the
CAPSTAN DRIVE FITTING on the Impactor's Output Drive can be aligned
properly, and fully seated in the Railcar Gate's Capstan Socket.
3.
Disengage the Car Gate Locking Mechanism before attempting to open the
gate.
4.
Adjust the height of the Impactor so that the center of the Drive Fitting is in-
line with the center of the Capstan.
5.
To raise the height of the Impactor, pull the Height Adjustment Lever toward
the operator See Figure 6.
6.
To lower the height of the Impactor, push the Height Adjustment Lever away
from the operator See Figure 6.
IMPORTANT
Regular use of the CAPSTAN SWAGE TOOL will
ensure a long-life for your Drive Fitting and
your Impactor's Square Drive Anvil. Also, a
clean, square Capstan socket will maximize the
torque transfer between the Opener and the
Car Gate.
CAUTION
Failure to disengage the Car Gate Locking
Mechanism will cause damage to the Car Gate.
