    As soon as you cut power, the rope gripper engages. No amount of monkeywrenching will get that thing to move.

    Let suggest an extra step to make it super safe. What you have take bend the hose at ftwo o’clock and bring the tail back around the hydrant counter clock wise till the brass is at 6 o’clock. Them at 10 o’clock put your boot against the hose and the hydrant. If you get a snag the hose will slip away. FYI the man outlet is 6 o’clock.

    I shut off the power supply and then couldn't get it turned back on.... please cover this problem... is there a safety latch? I pushed as hard as I could and couldn't get it back on.... so then the elevator repair people complained that I had tampered with their equipment and charged even more than usual because I turned the power to do a reset as described above. Couldn't get the power box turned back on.... Help ?

    I've been working on elevators for 34 years elevators if you release the brake on a geared machine and the elevator cab is empty with no load the elevator will go in the up Direction because a counterbalance weight is 40% heavier than the car

  • @Bombiedude.
    @Bombiedude.3 ай бұрын

    exactly and most people dont realize this they think when the brakes fail that an elevator will go down the shaft but the counterweight is there to balance the load out so the motor is only doing like 50% of the work

    Ill be honest if I was to install an elevator in a building which I cant because I dont have a building and elevators are way too expensive but Id go with a traction because hydraulic elevators use oil and oil is getting more expensive nowadays but traction ones dont use as much oil and would save money for paying the elevator bill

    Melbourne Australia. We discarded smooth bores for automatics back in the 1990s. Modern pumps can easily supply whatever pressure will give 100 psi (converting from metric in my head) at the branch. Modern autos can do everything a smooth bore can and a lot that they can't. For internal structure firefighting, I cannot fathom why one would use anything else.

    That would be scary being in the elevator pit and the car came down trapping you under! They should have trap doors in the floor or lower wall so that if you do find yourself stuck or have to access the pit when the elevator is on the ground floor, you can still escape or get in.

    AWESOME instruction. I’m writing this in March of 2023. There’s already increased citizen interest in becoming more capable in dangerous/ high stress situations. This type of information will be more sought after. In 2014 I was accidentally abandoned in a cargo container stacked atop another cargo container. Stranded 9 feet above asphalt and I couldn’t slowly lower myself against the bottom containers doors because they were open too. I carried a load rated climbing biner at the time with my Leatherman & Surefire attached to a belt loop. There was substantial mule tape in the cargo container, securing the load. All cargo containers have two welded pick points at the bottom corners of the door jam. I rigged the mule tape like rope and using my one biner, I self rescued. Gave my colleagues an earful for forgetting me up there. This happened on a Disney kids show. We stored props in the C containers. My only question with the Haligan anchor? Is the firefighter able to retrieve the tool once the burn is under control or is it a $700 loss?

    Today I watched this video. I must say that all hose loads have their benefits/ risk/drawbacks. I personally believe that the flat load with loops is still probably the best and safest load of all. True large diameter hose( 4, 5 and 6 inch) should just be loaded without loops. This is all just my personal opinion. Hav a good day and stay safe. Retired Captain from another career department

  • @tft024

    This is one of the most accurate presentation on automatics that I have seen. When you put your thumb over a hose where does the increase in pressure come from? Did the water company see you do it and crank up the pressure. Of course not. What happened is that the reduced flow has reduced friction loss in the hose and so the pressure that was being lost for high flow without thump goes down and that leaves working pressure at the end. The one thing I would say is slightly misstated is that high pump pressure increases reaction force. Not directly. High pump pressure let’s the spring open up delivering more the flow. The higher flow causes the reaction force. Another cool thing about TFT automatics is that they have a turbulence free valve such that the nozzle man can open it op to what they can handle and the pressure will be corrected and the stream will be turbulence free. Nice work
