PRIOR TO DISASSEMBLY
1.
Before disassembling the power drive, read and follow all the safety rules of this manual. Failure to do this can lead
to equipment damage and/or serious personal injury.
2.
Insure 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.
Insure 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:
NEVER CLIMB ON THE TRACK FOR ANY REASON. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING:
WEAR HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE. INSUFFICIENT HAND
PROTECTION WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
1.
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 power drive winch during rewinding.
2.
Start the power drive and lift the clutch handle to rewind wire rope. Insure 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.
4.
When the wire rope end reaches the drum, release the clutch handle, shut off the power drive and remove the safety
line. Anchor the wire rope end on the drum with a light rope or tape.
5.
Remove the operating handles from the power drive. Remove the lock pin from the hole provided and loosen the
