V. OPENING CAR GATES
1. Roll
the
GO-A3-PW
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 Swaging Kit (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 Gear Motor'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.
Roll the Opener forward toward the car gate until the Capstan
Drive Fitting is firmly seated in the railcar's capstan socket.
5.
Prior to energizing the Gear Motor, extend the
GO-A3-PW
's
Outriggers to the
maximum
practical length.
Failure to disengage the Car Gate Locking
Mechanism will cause damage to the car gate
and/or the railcar gate opener.
CAUTION
Regular use of the CAPSTAN SWAGING KIT will
ensure a long-life for your Drive Fitting. Also, a
clean, square capstan socket will maximize the
torque transfer between the Opener and the car
gate.
