Carrier Safety Brake
A safety brake is mounted on the carrier assembly. In the event that the carrier is
released from the rope suspension, a spring-loaded cam jams the brake into
position against the mast and slows the vertical movement of the carrier.
The safety brake is not intended to completely restrict
movement of the carrier. Always exercise extreme caution
when the safety brake is engaged.
To release the carrier safety brake, support the carrier and release the brake
roller. Slide the carrier down to the base of the mast. Replace the carrier rope if
necessary. Reset the current position using the controller before resuming use of
the mast.
