USAGE INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
IF A BLOCKAGE OCCURS
1. Stop putting debris into the chute.
2. The chute system could collapse without warning.
Evacuate the area below the chute of people. Consider that the path of
destruction created by a collapsing chute could be equivalent to its height.
3. Use a crane with ample capacity to lower the entire chute to the ground.
4. Separate the chute sections on the ground.
5. Remove the blockage.
6. Consult a structural engineer and the Superchute
®
factory to determine if the
anchors and cable assemblies were strained:
• If the engineer concludes the cable assemblies were strained, order new
cable assemblies from your Superchute
®
supplier or from the Superchute
®
factory.
• If the anchors were strained, rig new anchors.
• If the engineer concludes the anchors and cable assemblies were not
strained, reinstall the chute system.
