During descent care should be taken so that power cord does not snag, tangle or interfere with the platform, equipment, personnel, or the building itself. Workers must ensure that the power supply is properly secured prior to use of the powered platform. An outline of steps to be followed when connecting the power supply is as follows: 1. Inspect the Electric Power Supply Cable and all plugs prior to connecting to the Power Supply. Ensure that the connections are dry and secure. 2. Select a power outlet as close to the intended work position as possible. 3. Secure the Strain Relief to the designated equipment. 4. Visually inspect the Power Supply Receptacle, provided all conditions are normal, install the plug. 5. Verify that the Emergency Stop Button is NOT pressed. 6. Plug in the Power Cord into a convenient location on the roof. The green power light on the Main Control Panel should light up. (Figure 4.7 [1]) 7. Check the status of the other indicator lights:

• Emergency stop, • Overload, • Slack Rope, • Phase Reversal

• If the above mentioned lights are on make the

appropriate correction as per the “Troubleshooting” section. If the power still doesn’t initialize, contact Sky Rider Equipment Co., Inc. 8. Check the Circuit Breaker located inside the Main Control Panel to be sure it is in the “ON” position. If the Circuit Breaker turns “OFF” after initiating power to the Hoists, cease operation and contact management. 9. Set up the Davits according to the “Rigging the System“ section of this manual.

• •

Warning If travel stops during operation, or becomes inconsistent, all attempts to operate the platform must stop. Do not attempt to operate the platform if you are unsure of its condition or ability to operate. If abnormal conditions are observed, stop work and report the conditions.

4.3.3 Pendant Controls

The pendant control is a hand-held controller used to control hoist operations. Pendant controls act independently of each other. Two workers must control the self powered platform, each one controlling one hoist. Hoist controls must be operated simultaneously to allow level operation of the platform and control of all platform components and systems. Prior to use the pendant controls must be inspected before use and frequently during use. The outer casing of the pendant controls must be free of water and moisture, and must be free of cracks and breaks. Never pull or twist the connecting cable, damage may occur to the connecting cords. 1. Up Directional Control - Pressing the “UP” directional control button will cause the platform to travel in the up direction. The “UP” directional controls are used in the “Wire Rope Installation“ procedures. Operation of the “UP” button will cease if the following occurs: Overload condition - An overload occurs when an excess weight is loaded on the platform. Contact with the Buffer Plate - When the buffer plate comes in contact with the channel assembly of the davit, or the upper limit switch on the platform’s upper stirrup, the up controls of the pendant will cease to operate. Down controls will still function. 2. Down Directional Control - Pressing the “DOWN” directional control button will cause the platform to travel in the down direction. The “DOWN“ directional controls are used in the “Slacking out Wire Ropes“ procedures. Operation of the “DOWN” button will cease if the following occurs: Contact with the Lower Limit Switch - If the platform is landed on the roof or ground level, The release lever on the hoist will engage causing a wire slack. 3. Emergency Stop Control - The “Emergency Stop Button” should be pressed if a malfunction occurs that causes the hoist to operate when the “UP” or “Down” buttons are not being pressed. Pressing the “Emergency Stop Button” on one of the hoist pendants will cut the power to BOTH hoists.

connected and the main power breaker is switched to the “ON” position. E-Stop - Illuminates when the emergency stop button on the control pendent is pressed. Overload - If the platform is loaded beyond its capacity, a limit switch that is mounted on the bottom of the lower stirrup assembly will engage, interrupting operation of the hoist in the “UP” direction. Each hoist has its own overload limit control. An overload on the end of the platform will not stop hoist operation on the opposite end of the platform. Care must be taken to balance the load placed on the platform. Slack Rope - Illuminates when a slack cable condition is present. If the slack cable condition is the result of rigging, the slack rope override button must be pressed to allow hoist operations. The button must not be pressed during normal platform operations. Overload Reset - When an overload has occurred the overload light will illuminate, indicating the overload. If the overload has not been corrected and the reset button has been pressed the light will continue to illuminate until the overload has been corrected. Once the overload has been corrected the reset switch can be pressed to reset the system. Slack Rope Override - A slack wire rope condition will occur when the platform is landed on the rooftop during rigging procedures. The slack override button on the hoist control panel overrides this condition, permitting slack of the wire rope for de-rigging or rigging to the davits. The down power to the hoist will not operate unless the slack override button has been depressed.

breakers, roof top outlets, power cord etc. can cause a change in phase seen by the platform hoists. Uncorrected, a change in phase will cause the hoists to operate in the reverse direction, i.e., pressing “UP” will cause the hoist to travel in the down direction. In that event, none of the required safety devices as outlined above will operate properly. A phase monitoring relay has been provided for this purpose. The monitor relay will interrupt power to the platform if a reverse phase condition exists. If these conditions occur, stop work and report the conditions to the supervisor. The system will not function until the power supply is corrected by a qualified technician. 8. Rigging Control Switch - Used to perform the various rigging options: Normal Operation - Used for normal operating procedures. Winders Only - Activates the power to the winder motors and cuts power to the hoist. Used to slack out wire ropes. 9. Circuit Breaker - Located on the right end work cage only. The circuit breaker will cut power in an amperage overload situation. Use only the provided power cord when connecting to the panel and platform. If the power cord becomes damaged contact Sky Rider Equipment Co., Inc. 10. Hour Meter - Inside the control box is an hour meter, used to monitor the usage of the system. Only authorized and qualified technicians should every access the inside of the control panel. Record of the hour meter must be kept in a service log at regular intervals.

5 - P l atf o r m H o i s t s a n d BLOCS T O P 5.1 TIRAK® XE700P The TIRAK® hoist has been specially designed to support the weight of the 4-line suspension platform and a live weight load of two workers, and working equipment. The TIRAK® hoist can be used without any limitation of length for lifting. TIRAK® hoists are designed for platforms that travel up and down a vertical suspension wire rope. Provided are two(2) XE700P hoists. The XE700P series is rated for 1500lbs at 35 ft./min. (Figure 5.1)

5.1.1 Two Wire Rope System

The TIRAK® hoist is principally driven with two wire ropes, a primary and secondary rope. The TIRAK® hoist travels up and down vertically on the primary wire rope. The BS/BSO Secondary Brake is connected to the primary wire rope and the secondary wire rope.

• Wire Rope Driving Mechanism - The rope driving mechanism consists of a special designed friction pulley. The wire rope enters the TIRAK® hoist from the top. It is lead around the friction pulley, and its exit is opposite its entry. The friction system is independent of the load applied to the wire rope. The mechanism is housed in aluminum casing.

• TIRAK® Control - The TIRAK®’s vertical movement is

controlled by means of push buttons located on a remote pendant control (Figure 5.2). The pendant consists of three primary buttons, “UP”, “DOWN” and “EMERGENCY STOP”. When not activated the controls automatically return to a Stop-Position. The “EMERGENCY STOP“ button positively latches when pressed to cut all power to the hoist; it is released by a slight twisting action. DO NOT fix push-buttons in the run position.

construction, galv’d wire ropes should be used. Any other type of wire rope may cause damage to the hoist. Contact Sky Rider Equipment Co., Inc., if damage occurs to the wire ropes.

9 Figure 5.1

• Motor and Primary Brake - The TIRAK® hoist is driven by a three phase motor, entirely totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) type with an electromagnetic brake.

• Gear Reducer - The gear reducer consists of a worm gear drive in connection with a spur-gear, oil bath lubricated in a sealed aluminum casing.

• Secondary Brakes - In case the system over accelerates, the electric driven TIRAK® hoists are equipped with a centrifugal brake, in the event of current, hoist failure or overslacking. The additional over-speed locking device (Figure 5.1 [3]) stops the descent immediately in case of accelerating over-speed. It must always be attached and used.

An incorporated limit switch will stop the downward motion of the hoist. The secondary brake or BLOCSTOP/BSO must always be attached and used.

Once rigging has been completed, the rigging wedge MUST be removed so the over-speed function of the BLOCSTOP will initialize.

• The rigging wedge is used for rigging and slacking out wire rope only. It must be removed during platform suspension.

5.2.2 Emergency Stop

Control Lever - The control lever utilizes two positions:

1. Push the Emergency Stop button on the Over-Speed BLOCSTOP or Pendant Controls, to absolutely stop downward travel. (Figure 5.3).

”Open” and “Closed”. The control lever only effects primary wire rope operation, the secondary wire rope is not directly effected by the control lever position. Open Position - The control lever must be in the “Open” position in order for the primary wire rope to function properly. While in the ”Open“ position, normal operations can occur and the primary wire rope is free to pass through the BLOCSTOP.

5.2.3 Check the Emergency Stop Function

1. Close the BSO Secondary Brake by pushing the Emergency Stop Button. 2. While the Platform is on the roof level, press the “Down“ button on either the Hoist Control Panel or the Pendant Control to form a loop between the Hoist and the BLOCSTOP. 3.

Figure 5.3 Closed Position - When the control lever is in the ”Closed“ position, the BLOCSTOP’ primary brake will become locked and clamp onto the primary wire rope, preventing it from passing through the BLOCSTOP. Release Lever - The release lever controls the operations of the over speed brake that is attached to the secondary wire rope. When tension is on the primary wire rope, the release lever will be in an “Open” position, allowing the secondary wire rope to freely pass through the BLOCSTOP. If for any reason, tension is released on the primary rope, the release lever will close, causing the BS/BSO secondary centrifugal brake inside the BLOCSTOP to lock onto the secondary wire rope stopping it from traveling.

5.2.1 Rigging Wedge

The rigging wedge is connected by a lanyard to each of the hoists. The rigging wedge was designed to hold the slack rope sensor arm open and allows for smooth operation of the secondary wire rope through the brake, when the platform is NOT under load during rigging operations.

The Wire Ropes must be suspended vertically as they enter the Hoist. If there is Wire Rope angulation adjust the Hoist locations on the Platform so that the Hoists are directly under the outrigger suspension points and the Wire Ropes are hanging vertically. Failure to align the Wire Ropes vertically could cause a fatal accident! 16. It is recommended to leave a slack amount of Wire Rope available to attach to the Suspension Pin located on the Suspension Trolley. If hinging up the Davit is not going to be performed stop reeling the Primary Wire Rope just prior to the Upper Limit Switch. Doing so will prevent damage to the Wire Rope Terminal. 17. Switch the Rigging Control Switch to the “Normal Operation“ position. (Figure 6.4) 18. Remove the Rigging Wedge from the BLOCSTOP. 19. Close the BLOCSTOP by releasing the Control Lever. 20. When all of the Wire Ropes have properly been wound on the Winders, normal operations may resume.
