11. Grip the Opener’s handle with both hands. Depress the Throttle Valve Lever
slowly, applying a firm, steady inward pressure to the handle. The correct
amount of pressure for maximum efficiency can be learned only by
experience. Control the opening speed of gate travel so that the Gate does
not unnecessarily slam against the end of the Gate Track.
12. If the Car Gate will not move, STOP using the GO-A13-HA Opener and
notify your supervisor, continued impacting will destroy the Gate.
13. Once the Car Gate is fully opened, pull the Pivot Locking Pin from the Pivot
lock pin hole, and push/pull the Pivot Pull Switch to the straight position. This
will cause the Tires to rotate perpendicular to the Railcar.
14. Secure the Pivot Locking Pin in the Straight lock pin hole.
15. Roll the GO-A13-HA Opener away from the Railcar disengaging the
CAPSTAN DRIVE FITTING from the Railcar's Capstan Socket.
16. Lower the Impactor to its retracted position.
Release the Throttle Lever the moment the Gate
reaches its fully opened position. Prolonged
impacting can cause structural damage to the
gate mechanism.
Do not use other opening devices (pry bars,
multipliers, etc.) in an attempt to "Help" the
GO-A13-HA Opener.
Always store the Gate Opener with the
Impactor in the retracted position.
