4. Safety Operation Regulations

The suspended access equipment is special equipment operated at the certain
height, so it is very important to pay more attention to the safety operation. After
installation, the following safety operation regulations should be followed:

4.1 The suspended access equipment should only be operated and maintained by qualified
personnel with adequate technical training.

4.2 The operators should read the operation manual and check the equipment carefully before
operation strictly follow the safety regulations and “Daily Check Items” (see section 7.2)
during the operation and maintenance of the equipment.

4.3 It is not allowed to use the equipment overloaded or with troubles (the rated weight including
the weight of operators). The load should be evenly distributed on the platform. The loaded
weight must be decreased as the working height, the front beam overhang or the distance
between the front and rear holders change. Furthermore, the loaded weight must be
decreased further if the wind force is stronger. Make sure that the moment of force of the
stability of the suspension mechanism is over two times of the overturning moment.

4.4 It is not suggested to install the platform over the rated length or use the two platforms
together. And it is also not allowed to assembly the suspended platform with the parts
and elements from different manufactories.

4.5 The limit switch, emergency stop button, electromagnetic brake and manual descending
device should be sensitive and reliable.
a. When the platform is in its normal operation, it is prohibited to manually break the
motors or safety lock, so as to prevent any accident from happening.
b. The emergency stop button is the self-lock one, it is necessary to be rotated in
clockwise to make the button out when reset.
c. It is necessary to press the starting button to move the platform after the limit
switch or the emergency stop button is pressed.
d. When the limit switch is activated, the operation of platform will automatically halt
and the alarm bell will ring. Under this circumstances, lower the platform promptly

to have the limit switch be away from the limit stopper.

4.6 During operation of platform, the operator should keep an eye on the platform’s operation
condition and promptly shoot any hidden trouble possibly leading to accidents.

4.7 The platform should be adjusted promptly if it is tilting and the height difference of two ends
should be no higher than 15cm. And otherwise, it will affect the operation of the safety lock.

4.8 It is not allowed to use ladders, boxes, or other tools to obtain increased height. Never use
additional extensions to exceed the permissible length of the platform.

4.9 It is not allowed to make use the platform as the elevator for people or goods and also it is
not allowed to mount any hanging device in the platform.

4.10 Once the hoist is blocked during operation, it is not allowed to move the platform forcedly. Fix
the platform first and make sure it is safety, then check and eliminate the troubles.

4.11 In case of working steel rope breakage during operation, the personnel in the platform should
keep calm and leave the platform under the prerequisite of ensured safety. After
maintenance and repair personnel enters the platform, the first thing to do is to take anti-
dropping measures by having the clamp of safety steel rope hold the platform or by fastening
the platform with the steel rope secured on the building roof. Then, pull the replacing steel
rope through the hoist, and press the up button to have the platform move upward. If the
suspended access equipment works normally, release the safety lock cautiously, detach the
fixing steel rope and lower the platform down to the ground. It will not be put into operation
again until it passes the stringent inspection.

4.12 In case of power break during operation shut down the power first. If it is necessary to have
the suspended platform lowered back onto the ground, operate manual descending device
to have the platform lowered smoothly onto the ground

5. Site Environment
5.1 The following environmental conditions shall be maintained:

a. No high voltage line within the 10 meters;

b. It is not allowed to use the equipment in thunderstorm, fog or the wind of grade 5
(wind speed 8.3m/s) or higher;
c. Make sure that the welding spark will not affect or damage the steel rope;
d. Temperature required: -20℃~+40℃;
e. Error of the voltage: ±5%.
5.2 The suspended access equipment should avoid contacting corrosive gas and liquid. If there

is no alternative available, anti-corrosion and segregation measures should be taken in its

operation.

5.3 Cut off the power supply, lock the control box and clean the equipment after completion of
the operation. It is not allowed any foreign, dirty matter or water entering into the motor,
safety lock, electromagnetic brake and control box.

5.4 The working steel rope and safety steel rope should not be bent and should be prevented
from the contamination of mortar and other foreign materials. They should be replaced as
required by the operation manual in case of cracking, breaking, peeling, distortion, flossing
and corrosion. The safety steel rope should be prevented from contacting grease or oil.

5.5 The safety lock should be checked and its moving parts should be lubricated regularly during
its service life and it should not be dismantled without authorization.

5.6 Special attention should be paid to mark limit effective of the safety lock. When the steel
rope is removed from platform, it should be winded to form a bundle and be stored properly.

6. Inspection of cradles & third Party

6.1 Test of cradle and prepare for inspection for third party Certificates, SKYWALL will provide a
training for the operators before using the cradle (How to operate & what to do in case of
emergency)

6.2 Inspection of cradles & third Party shall be done together after Installation and start using the
cradle, and after obtaining approval from third party.

6.3 Third party certificates shall be forwarded to consultant and it must be available always on
site for consultant verification.
