All personnel must wear a personal flotation device, hard hat, safety shoes and
gloves during FC operations and maintenance. Failure to observe these precautions
could result in serious injury or death to personnel.
Place the hands on top or on the outside of ropes/lines so that in an emergency the
lines can be released quickly to preclude being pulled into the equipment. Failure to
observe these precautions could result in serious injury or death.

Assemble required number of intermediate strings together side by side, using rope/lines, flush turn tubes, deck
