"BODY PROP"
NOTE:
In order to comply with paragraph 10 of Federal Regulation #1926.601, all TBEI-
Rugby hoists will be sold with one body prop. It is the responsibility of the installer to
determine whether one body prop is sufficient. The following information will help in
making that determination.
The body prop is designed for use only when the body is empty. The purpose of the
body prop is to hold an empty body in the raised position when performing
maintenance or inspection on the hoist, body, or any component that requires working
under an
empty
body.
Some applications may require 2 or more body props to support the
empty
body. To
determine how many body props your application requires, refer to the following
information.
WARNING:
Being under a raised body can result in serious injury or death should the body
inadvertently descend.
Never
position yourself or allow others to position themselves
under a
loaded
body.
Always
prop the
unloaded
body up using the body prop/s
supplied.
Remember
, body props are to be used only on an
unloaded
body. When
two props are provided, both props must be used.
WARNING:
Do not use body prop to support a loaded body!
WARNING:
Do not perform maintenance under a raised body without first blocking the empty body
up with the body prop/s.
WARNING:
Do not use a body prop that is bent or otherwise damaged. A damaged body prop will
have a reduced holding capacity, and may break when used to hold up the body. This
could cause serious injury or death. Replace a damaged body prop before using it.
WARNING:
Be sure to install the body prop according to the
“INSTALLATION OF BODY
PROP”
section of this manual.
The following is a step by step procedure to determine how many body props are required for this
application.
1.
The TBEI-Rugby Part Number 03 0703 body prop is to be used with this hoist. Determine if
this is the body prop you have by referring to Figure 8.
2.
Determine the "P" value referring to Figure 9. The "P" value is the horizontal distance between
the rear hinge and the prop.
