Leading edge of 2 Test Section Clearance between the 2 Test Section and the Sand Feeder will need to be carefully monitored as the test section WILL CONTACT this housing if not stopped in time 64 Once the 2 Test Section is far enough into the trailer that it will not interfere with closing the gate there is no need to push it in any further At this point the operator in the rope hoist end of the section will lift up on the test section so that there is some slack in the rope and with their other hand push UP on the release tab on the rope hoist to disengage it and then SLOWLY lower the end of the test section so that it rests on the platform USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE ROPE HOIST AS SOON AS THE RELEASE TAB IS MOVED UP THE HOIST WILL NO LONGER SUPPORT THE LOAD THE OPERATOR SHOULD BE PREPARED TO HANDLE THE WEIGHT AND GENTLY SET IT DOWN Now that the 2 Test Section is far enough into the trailer so that the gate can be shut and is not contact the solenoid housing on the Sand Feeder all that remains to complete the loading the test section is to properly position it on the test section platform When looking in from either end of the test section operators will notice two pieces of 1 square tubing mounted on top of the test section platform The 1 angle iron on the bottom edge of the test section will need to slid INSIDE the 1 square tubing The simplest way to accomplish this is to pick up on
