WORKMASTER GO-A8-PW - Opening Car Gates Procedure; Positioning and Connecting the Opener

13
VIII. OPENING CAR GATES
1. Roll the GO-A8 Opener up to the hopper gate until you "rough spot"
position the Opener's output drive with the Railcar Gate's Capstan Socket.
2. Using the CAPSTAN SWAGE TOOL (optional accessory, P/N 33-11120),
clean-out and square-up the Capstan Socket on the Car Gate so that the
CAPSTAN DRIVE FITTING on the Impactor's Output Drive can be aligned
properly, and fully seated in the Railcar Gate's Capstan Socket.
3. Disengage the Car Gate Locking Mechanism before attempting to open
the gate.
4. Roll the Opener forward toward the car gate until the CAPSTAN DRIVE
FITTING is firmly seated in the Railcar's Capstan Socket.
5. Rotate the Forward/Reverse Lever to set the Impactor's motor rotation
direction.
Failure to disengage the Car Gate Locking Mechanism
will cause damage to the Car Gate.
CAUTION
Regular use of the CAPSTAN SWAGE TOOL will
ensure a long-life for your Drive Fitting and your
Impactor's Square Drive Anvil. Also, a clean,
square Capstan socket will maximize the torque
transfer between the Opener and the Car Gate.
