1.4.2 Training in the use of Sky Climber equipment is available. Contact Sky Climber for details. 1.4.3 Safety Helmets shall be worn at all times that an overhead hazard exists when servicing, erecting, disassembling, or using this equipment.
1.4.11 All suspended access equipment must be handled with care. Impose loads on the platform gently. 1.4.12 Use only Sky Climber genuine spare parts for your Sky Climber equipment. Do not alter any SkyClimber baskets or accessories. 1.4.13 When at work station or when getting on or off a suspended working platform, prevent the platform from moving away from the building or structure by securing the suspended platform to the building face or structure.
Wire rope fittings such as terminators, fist grips (aka: ‘j-clips or double-saddle clips’), shackles, 1.6.7 other connectors, and swage fittings all must be checked for proper torque/tightness at initial loading, and at the beginning of each work shift. 1.6.8 Examine wire rope for damage when operating the hoist on each ascent and descent. POWER SUPPLY GUIDELINES Be sure your power supply conforms to hoist manufacturer’s recommendations.
1.12 CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERE 1.12.1 When Sky Climber hoists are being used in corrosive work-associated atmospheres such as acid washing, the hoist and its supporting steel wire rope shall be protected from direct contact with the corrosive solutions and agents. Each day, on the final descent, the steel wire rope shall be washed with a neutralizing solution and re-lubricated.
GENERAL OPERATION GUIDELINES Use the instructions in this manual and those provided with equipment to assemble the scaffold and rigging equipment. Every component of the rigging system must be able to support the load. All structural members must be examined by an engineer or someone who is trained and capable of whether the structure is capable of withstanding the loads applied.
REMOVING AN OLD WIRE ROPE 3.2.1 While the IC1000 basket is on the ground, run the versa valve in the down direction while pulling the wire rope through the rope guide, until all of the wire rope is off the drum.
INSTALLING NEW WIRE ROPE Contact your Skyclimber dealer for information on swaging a new wire rope hook. 3.3.1 Use the reverse order for removing an old wire rope to install the new wire rope. Be sure when the tension holder handle is reassembled, it is in the proper orientation so that when the handle is in the down position it tightens the tension holder.
3.5.2 Run the transfer chain through the transfer eye. Secure the tail end of the chain back to itself using two shackles on each side of the transfer eye. 3.5.3 Attach the sling hook and rigging hook to a structure that will support the total suspended weight. 3.5.4 Lower the basket until the load is transferred to the chain and there is sufficient slack in the primary rope.
transmission fails. NOTE: If an over speed condition occurs, the break can be reset by running the basket in the UP direction. (Immediately following an emergency brake engagement, the brake and transmission must be inspected by a qualified service technician before returning to service.
SERVICE 6.3.1 Contact your local Skyclimber representative, if the tilt control assembly or drum base requires attention. TRANSMISSION INSPECTION 7.1.1 Every 30 days, (sooner if needed) check the oil level of both sections in the transmission through the inspection holes. Use Mobile SHC 634 gear oil, (No substitutes), to fill both sections, when the oil level is below the inspection holes.

10.0 OILER AND FILTER 10.1 The filter helps remove moisture and dirt from air supply. The oiler lubricates the air for the motor. WARNING: Oiler and filter are intended to be used with industrial compressed air systems. Do not exceed rated temperature or pressure. 10.2 INSPECTION AND SERVICE 10.2.1 Disconnect air supply before proceeding.
