10.5 Operation During Extreme Weather Conditions
zipSTOP equipment has been designed for use in a wide range of temperature and weather conditions. Ex-
treme heat and cold weather will not alter the performance of the equipment, nor will operations in wet con-
ditions, however, the following should be observed:
WET LINE WARNING
When the line is wet it may slightly alter the performance of the zipSTOP device. This may result in in-
creased braking distances and/or increased braking forces. Care must be taken when operating in wet
conditions.
When operating in freezing temperatures, it is of critical importance that all lines are kept dry. If lines be-
come wet and subsequently freeze, normal retraction/extension may become limited, which may result in
increased or dangerous rates of deceleration or an increased likelihood of reset failure. If lines become wet
during freezing temperatures, or when normal extension/retraction becomes limited, cease all operation
immediately.
FULLY EXTEND BRAKING LINE TO ALLOW DRYING
When operating the zipSTOP in wet conditions, the Braking Line must be fully extended and allowed to
completely dry in order to get the longest life from the lines.
INSPECT LINE FREQUENTLY IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS
When operating in extreme wind, weather, temperature, humid conditions, UV light exposure, or near salt/
marine environments, increase line inspection frequency and replacement frequency. The line must be
replaced if any signs of deterioration are evident.
10.6 Resetting the Brake
CHECK BRAKE TROLLEY HAS CORRECTLY RESET AFTER EVERY RUN
The Unit is designed to stop retracting if there are any internal issues and in the case of many overload
situations. Any indication of a failure to reset should be checked and if found to be may be cause for imme-
diate removal from service. Please contact your local service center for repair should the unit fail to reset
consistently.
BRAKE RESET FAILURE
Failure to reset the Brake Trolley will result in insufficient braking and may result in serious injury or death of
rider.
The zipSTOP Brake Trolley should automatically return to the start of the Arrest Zone (Reset Position) once the
rider trolley is removed. With the Brake Trolley positioned in the Reset Position, the zipSTOP Braking Line will
be fully retracted.
