Chapter 5: INSTALLATION – Warnings and Cautions
Anyone involved in the installation or service of this brake must have:
• Received specific training.
• Had experience on similar equipment.
• Knowledge of the equipment on which the brake is installed.
• The ability to understand the terminology.
• The ability to understand the diagrams.
Do not proceed unless technically qualified for the work involved.
The integrity of the brake may be compromised or a replacement part may not fit if alterations are
made to the brake to achieve required alignment.
If the alterations to the brake supporting structure are required, they must be done under the
direction of a competent authority.
All electrical power to this equipment must be disconnected by competent personnel. Consult
specific wiring diagrams to identify and isolate all live power inputs to the equipment.
Unexpected movement or hazardous voltage can cause injury or death. Disconnect, lock out, and
tag out the power source that feeds this device to prevent power from being applied while
inspection and repairs are being performed. Before beginning repairs, try the operational controls
to verify that the intended power source is disconnected.
On a hoist, chock the drum to prevent any rotation, due to the effect of gravity on the hook block
etc.
On the travel motion subject to the effect of wind or camber gradient, apply the wind anchors or
otherwise secure the equipment against inadvertent movement when the brake is being worked
on or is removed entirely.
Never lift the brake assembly by the brake rod. The weight of the brake can irreversibly damage
the rod leading to fracture and total loss of braking effect.
