INCLINED OPERATION OF TC-3
1. The beam should have a Knurled Drive Flange and
the TC-3 should have the straight toothed Drive
Gear (T13586 - ordered separately).
CAUTION
When the carriage is used in an inclined application
the unit is free to move whenever the Carriage
Release Handle is pulled down. This may happen
even if a counter balance weight is used. With a prop-
er counterbalance and if the flux hopper and wire
reel(s) are mounted off of the carriage, this "free-
wheeling" is less likely to occur since the changing
weight will not affect the counterbalance.
2. With a tilt of 5° or less, a counterbalance is typical-
ly not required (see CAUTION).
3. A tilt in excess of 5° will require a counter weight
as shown in Figure A.10. The amount of counter-
weight will depend on the tilt angle and the amount
of load on the carriage. Beam angles should be
limited to 10° or less.
