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.
