WELDING:
Use the following precautions when welding to prevent the possibility of
electric shock to personnel and/or the possibility of welding current
passing through the wire rope.
Attach each wire rope to its suspension point with a suitable
insulated thimble. Insulate extra rope stored on the roof to prevent
grounding, or terminate the suspension rope at the insulated
thimble.
Cover the supporting wire rope with insulating material above and
below the Sky Climber® Hoist.
Use a length of split rubber tube taped in place around the cable as
follows:
oExtend above the Sky Lock brake for 4 to 5 feet (more if
required by local codes).
oExtend below the Sky Climber® Hoist, far enough to insulate
the tail line from the platform. Guide and/or retain the
portion of the tail line below the platform so that it does not
become grounded.
Cover each Sky Climber Hoist, Sky Lock Brake, and Wire Winder
with protective covers made from insulating material.
Connect a grounding conductor from the platform to the work
piece. The size of this conductor must be equal to or greater than
the size of the stinger lead.
NOTE: This must be a secondary conductor and must not be in series
with the primary conductor between the welder and the work piece.
