WARNING (cont)

TM 32-5985-343-14&P

CAUTION

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

eliminate all slack in cable. Otherwise starting can cause shock load which could cause damage

to hoist or to rigging. (Page 5-13)

CAUTION

When antenna is lowered, be sure that side of antenna that faces tower does not have protruding

elements that would interfere with elevator motion. (Page 5-13)

WARNING

When elevator is lowered, bottom roller assemblies of elevator assembly must be at least 6

inches from bottom of lowest track section. (Page 5-13)

WARNING

Never use elevator erection sling to raise structural member when sling is supporting member by

frictional contact only. Sling must go through hole or be safely secured over welded track tabs

when lifting track or brace. Elevator hoist operator must stand inside tower while operating

hoist, to avoid being under members being lowered. (Page 5-15)

WARNING

When working on structural tower, use safety climbing belts and hold tools and materials in

proper containers. Pass tools and materials by using appropriate containers or ropes. (Pages 5-

15, 5-23)

WARNING

Truck winch and hoist cables must have minimum workload rating of 1 ton. Winch truck must be

able to effectively brake, lower, and safely hold this 1-ton load. (Page 5-18)

WARNING

The fumes of trichloroethane are toxic. Provide thorough ventilation whenever used. DO NOT

USE NEAR AN OPEN FLAME. Trichloroethane is not flammable, but exposure of the fumes to an

open flame or hot metal forms highly toxic phosgene gas. (Page 5-26)
