Crush Guard - Service - Manitou 160ATJ/180ATJ/200ATJ Frame Structure

Notes
The purpose of this Tech Doc is to help with the Servicing of the frame structure
The frame is mounted to the front of the EWP and runs a steel wire rope in front of the EWP controls. When the operator leans on the wire rope, the alarm will trigger and cutout further movement.

Damage to Frame Structure
If there has been a heavy impact to the mechanical structure of the frame (causing the tubing to be bent out of shape) then the frame will need to be replaced. Damage to the mechanical structure can not be repaired. For further information on removing the frame from the EWP consult the Crush Guard installation manual for the Manitou 160ATJ/180ATJ/200ATJ models. If the magnetic anchor, rope switch and user interface are undamaged, they can be removed from the frame and only a replacement frame and wire will need to be ordered. 

Damage to Wire Components
If the wire or the blue hose sheath over the wire has been cut or damaged then it will need to be repaired. Return the frame to EQSS to replace the wire.

Damage to Rubber Post Covers
If the rubber post covers have been cut or punctured where they are interfering with the tension on the wire, then they will need to be replaced. Return the frame to EQSS to replace the rubber post covers.
