PREPARATION FOR USE
5.1. Preparation for Magnetic System Transportation
5.2. Preparation of Inspection Surface (Magnetic System)
►
Remove build-up of scale and other debris
(i.e. dirt, ice)
from the surface on which
the crawler is to drive. Excessive build-up will cause the wheels to lose magnetic
attraction, which may lead to wheel slippage or crawler detachment.
►
Ensure that no obstructions
(other than standard butt welds)
or voids are in the drive
path. Obstructions and voids could cause the crawler to fall if driven into or over.
►
Ensure that there are no patches of non-ferrous material in the drive path of
the crawler. If the crawler drives over a non-ferrous patch, it will lose magnetic
attraction and will cause the crawler to fall.
CAUTION!
PINCH / CRUSH HAZARD. BE
CAREFUL
when passing the
SKOOT • X
crawler
through narrow ferrous
(magnetic)
openings, such
as man-holes. The magnetic drive wheels can cause
bodily harm if allowed to slam onto the walls of the
opening.
