3.0 GENERAL
Users are responsible for reading, understanding and following the instructions in this manual. Do not
operate Sky Climber equipment until you have read and understood this manual, and are willing to follow
its instructions. Consult your supervisor or nearest Sky Climber Office if you have any questions
concerning these instructions, or if training is required.
3.1 SKY LOCK OVERSPEED BRAKE
The Sky Lock overspeed brake is a safety device which senses the speed of the rope passing through
its mechanism. If the factory pre-set actuation speed is exceeded as the Sky Lock is travelling down the
wire rope, the Sky Lock brake will lock onto the wire rope and support the descending load. The wire
rope cannot be released until the load on the Sky Lock brake is relieved.
NOTE: Use always the right type of Sky Lock for the right type of Hoist. (See 2.2.1)
3.1.1 Installation
The Sky Lock brake is installed above and attached to the Sky Climber hoist with a coupling link. The
Sky Lock brake may also be attached to platforms as part of a secondary wire rope installation, or to
other equipment which may require the use of a dynamic braking device. Consult Sky Climber Europe
for use of the Sky Lock brake in other than Sky Climber hoist applications.
Before passing the wire rope through the Sky Lock brake, the reset handle must be placed in the reset
position. See Figure 3.1. After the wire rope has been passed through the Sky Lock brake, the operation
of the brake must be inspected according to procedures in Section 5.4.2 of this manual.
