OPERATION REQUIREMENTS
Note:
First, verify that the surface that the Panther Hawk Safety Cart will be installed
onto is capable of supporting the product and personnel using it. A complete
assessment of the entire surrounding areas should be made to determine if the
working surfaces have the strength and structural integrity to support users safely.
1 (one) workers can be rigged for fall arrest with up to 2 (two) additional workers
rigged for fall restraint. The total number of workers attached to the Panther Hawk
Safety Cart shall not exceed 3 (three). The workers connected shall have a combined
weight (person, clothing, tools, etc.) of no more than 310 lbs per person.
Position the Panther Hawk Safety Cart a minimum of 15 feet from the leading edge of
the roof or opening. Make sure the ring connector plate is pointing toward the leading
edge and the cart is set to travel parallel to the leading edge. Set rear brake by
rotating brake handles to locked (downward) position. The working area is a 90
o
area
extending outwards from the ring connector plate to the edge of the roof.
COUNTERWEIGHTS
Place 6 (six) of the 50 lb. counterweights on the mounting brackets on the opposite
side of the fall arrest ring, or the side farthest from the roof edge.
Place 2 (two) of the 45 lb. counterweights, (with large holes cut out of sides) on the
mounting brackets on the same side as the fall arrest ring, or the side closest to the
roof edge. Make sure that with the counterweights installed, the Fall Arrest Connector
Plate and Eye-Bolt are visible and unobstructed.
