WARNING (cont)

TM 32-5985-343-14&P

WARNING

Because of weight differences between loaded and unloaded elevator assembly, shear pins may

bind in locked position. If this binding occurs, do not attempt to force shear pins. Instead,

operate hoist to allow their removal. (Page 2-32)

CAUTION

When antenna is assembled, be sure that side without protruding elements will face tower after

antenna is attached to carriage. (Page 2-33)

WARNING

Test elevator and carriage for proper operation and for alignment before beginning to attach

antenna. Be sure that crank axis of tower adapter winch is parallel to tower face A. Then the

winch can move the antenna carriage as is rides on tower adapter tracks. (Page 2-33)

WARNING

The bottom rollers of the elevator assembly must always be at least 6 inches from the bottom

ends of lowest track section. (Page 2-33)

CAUTION

Before raising or lowering load with elevator hoist, always operate controls momentarily to

eliminate all slack in cable. Otherwise shock loading may result which can cause damage to

hoist or rigging. (Page 2-33)

WARNING

High voltage is used in operation of electric hoists. Death or injury may result from contact with

high voltage connections. The 230/460-volt power for hoist motors and controls is lethal.

Disconnect this power before servicing hoist motors or controls, or any hoist circuits. (Pages 2-

34, 5-11,7-1)

CAUTION

Always push buttons momentarily to eliminate all slack in the line before trying to hoist load.

Otherwise starting can cause shock loading, which can cause damage to hoist and rigging.
