(The standpipe will be required to meet API Spec. 2C for emergency lowering procedures), See section 4.0 Emergency Lowering of Personnel-Handling Hoists.
  • Page 13 Do not touch the motor or standpipe while lowering a load. They may become hot enough to cause burns. IMPORTANT After an emergency lowering of a personnel-handling hoist, Tulsa Winch recommends that the hoist is taken off line and a brake inspection is performed. See Section 2.0, Maintenance and Service.
