Closing Car Gates - WORKMASTER GO-M04 Operator's Manual

VI. CLOSING CAR GATES
1. Inspect and prepare the trackside worksite so that it will accommodate the
practical and safe use of the GO-M04 Gate Opener.
2. Disengage the Car Gate Locking Mechanism before attempting to open the
gate.
CAUTION
3. Re-examine the car's capstan socket. Look for rounded edges, spalling or
mushrooming. If needed, re-use the swage tool to square-up the capstan
socket.
IMPORTANT
4. Firmly seat the Capstan Drive Fitting into the car's capstan socket.
5. Set the Wrench's direction of rotation (CW or CCW) (Figure 1) by securely
positioning the pivoting selector pawl to the appropriate direction based on
capstan travel.
6. Apply force to the Ratchet Wrench.
Failure to disengage the Car Gate Locking Mechanism
will damage the Opener.
Regular use of the CAPSTAN SWAGING KIT will ensure
a long-life for your Drive Fitting. Also, a clean, square
capstan socket will maximize the torque transfer
between the Opener and the car gate.
Maintain firm hand control of the GO-M04 or the
ratchet wrench handle during entire opening
operation.
