6. For Railcars with Rolling Capstans, remove the Pivot Locking Pin from the
GO-A8-PW's straight position pin hole, and push/pull the Pivot Pull Switch to
the pivot position. This will cause the GO-A8-PW's tires to rotate parallel to
the Railcar.
7. Secure the Pivot Locking Pin in the PIVOT lock pin hole. Make sure the Pin is
fully seated so that no more than 1/4" of the Pin protrudes above the Pivot
Guard.
8. 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.
CAUTION
9. If the Car Gate will not move, STOP using the GO-A8-PW Opener and notify
your supervisor, continued impacting will destroy the Gate.
Keep your hands off the Throttle Lever until it is
time to start the Opener. Plant feet firmly, and
always keep both hands on the handle while
operating the GO-A8-PW Opener.
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-A8-PW Opener.
