VII. CLOSING CAR GATES
1. Inspect and prepare the trackside worksite so that it will
accommodate the practical and safe use of the GO-B3 Gate
Opener and its Torque Reaction Arm.
2. Inspect the Slide Gate’s Capstan Socket to make sure the Drive
Fitting can make a good, square, secure-fit in the Socket. If the
Capstan Socket is worn (out of square, completely rounded out,
etc.) use either a
WORKMASTER
Capstan Swaging Kit
(PN 33-
11120) to clean out and square-up the Capstan Socket, or, if
completely rounded out, a WORKMASTER Capstan Renew
Attachment
(PN: 80-10728),
which slides over and is pinned to
the Capstan Socket and provides the Drive Fitting the required,
well-formed, female square drive. (See Back Cover)
3. Check the car gate locking mechanism before attempting to close
the gate.
4. Check the Opener’s rotation direction setting, either Clockwise
(CW) or Counter-Clockwise (CCW) (See Figure 4, Item 1 & 2,
Page 10). Securely push the sliding Selector Switch in the
appropriate direction based on capstan travel.
5. Hold the GO-B3 Gate Opener perpendicular to the railcar’s Capstan
Socket and firmly seat the Capstan Drive Fitting into the car's
Capstan Socket, and securely position the Reaction Arm against the
ground or a stationary object. (See Figure 5, Page 11)
A clean, square Capstan Socket will maximize
the torque transfer between the GO-B3 Opener
and the car gate.
IMPORTANT
The surface of the unloading site in the area of the
hopper car gate must be level, flat, smooth, and
unobstructed so as to provide the firm base which will
safely support the
GO-B3
's Torque Reaction Arm.
