2.02.OPERATION

  1. Operation shall be by means of a hydraulic cylinder pulling a crank arm that rotates the output through ninety degrees. The arm travel time varies, depending upon version ordered, see schedule below. The body and chassis of the operator shall be made of 10-gauge (3.4 mm)steel; the cover shall be 14-gauge (2.11 mm) steel, to allow operation in strong winds without twisting of operator.Operation to the fully open and fully closed position shall be limited by cam operated switches that accurately read the position of the shaft and arm.Spring counterbalance shall not be required.Gears, sprockets, or belts shall not be incorporated in the operator.The standard finish of the chassis and cover of the operator shall be Safety Yellow.All models include two brake valves to gradually stop and hold the arm without applying a shock load to the arm or operator assembly.Manual operation, in case of power failure, shall be accomplished by the use of a "pull to release" bypass valve which unlocks the operator and allows the arm to be moved by hand.
