Procedure “B”
This procedure requires two or preferably three men.
1. Place track section assembly perpendicular to the building with the
bottom shoes of the steel bottom section resting against the building to
prevent slipping.
2. Tie a rope to the top bracket and have the man on the roof pull up the
hoist while the other man on the ground braces the shoes on the steel
bottom base section to prevent slippage of the hoist shoes. The third
man on the ground may aid in erecting by “walking” the hoist up hand
over hand by the rungs.
3. When the hoist reaches a vertical position, carefully turn the hoist 180
degrees with the platform pointing away from the building.
4. Move the bottom of the hoist away from the building 1/4 of the height of
the building where the top of the hoist is to be supported. Angle of track
sections from building should be between 18 and 20 degrees. Make
allowances for an overhang. See page 14 for track section chart for
approximate distances of the base from the building.
5. Tie the track section to the roof with a rope fastened to a cross tie on
the top bracket to prevent slippage of the track section. See below.
DO NOT TIE ROPE TO THE RAILS - THIS WILL PREVENT THE
PLATFORM FROM OPERATING PROPERLY.
6. Make certain the shoes on the steel bottom section are firmly resting
on level ground. This will help to prevent track section slippage or
uneven loading of the track section which could cause damage or
injury to personnel and/or to equipment.
