Considerable manual force must be used on the cranking handle to ensure that the cables are sufficiently tight. Disconnect the ship from the transfer bridge by manually applying sufficient force to the cranking handle of winch to allow the locking dog to become free (with one hand) while simultaneously disengaging the locking dog from winch cog wheel (with the other hand). After disengaging the locking dog from winch cog wheel, control the unwinding force on the handle until pressure on the handle is relieved while, at the same time, rotating the handle to the unwind position, then remove the handle from the winch. Extreme caution must be taken during this procedure, as considerable force is exerted on the handle by the tension on the winch cables from the weight of the transfer bridge and the tension on the cables that hold the ship to the transfer bridge. 2) Tie and untie the stern of the ship at the dock (requires rapid overhand motions and hand strength)This duty is usually assigned to one (1) dockworkerPull approximately 20 feet of unsupported 2 inch rope across a 10 foot open space, through a sheave, and across another 10 foot of dock and place the ring end of the rope around a bollard. Reverse the procedure during the untying procedure while keeping tension on the rope so that the weight of the rope doesnt overwhelm the person on the other end. 3) Installing and removing the passenger-loading gangway (weighs approximately 900 lbs) and the rear gangway plate (weighs approximately 70 lbs) This duty is usually assigned to one (1) dockworkerInstalling: Use the hydraulic hand pump to raise the gangway to a position slightly above the rail of the passenger exit opening of the ship. Depending on the initial position of the ramp, this procedure can take from 8 to 50 pumps. Manually push the 900 lb gangway forward across the dock to position it into the passenger exit of the ship. Often this gangway will have to be pulled back, away from the ship and repositioned horizontally as it is difficult to adjust sightlines to correctly position the gangway because of the configuration of the gangway. NOTE: Steering the gangway, during installation, can require extraordinary amounts of manual force. It is exceedingly difficult to steer as the steering must be accomplished by moving the rear of the entire gangway in order to steer the two 2 inch caster wheels positioned at the rear of the gangway. The two small caster wheels support approximately 500 lbs of the weight making the caster wheels reluctant to turn, either horizontally or forward and back. Additionally, because these are caster wheels, if they are pointed in the wrong direction, the entire gangway must be pushed into a post ion that will realign the wheels in the direction of desired travel. Lower the rear boarding ramp plate (approximately 70 lbs) Removing: Use the hydraulic hand pump to raise the gangway to a position slightly above the rail of the passenger exit opening of the ship. Depending on the initial position of the ramp, this procedure usually requires 5 pumps. Lift the 70 lb rear gangway plate to the upright position and secure it Note: If the ship uses the opposite side of the passenger loading platform, the entire passenger-loading gangway must be repositioned 180 degrees. This is usually accomplished by 3 dockworkers  ab  O Q # $ B C ] ^ | } 5CJ\ 5>*CJ\5\56CJ\]CJ 56\] 5>*\>*CJCJ & EZ$$Ifl*/064 laX$$Ifl*/064 la$If 12|GX$$Ifl*/064 la$IfZ$$Ifl*/064 laP Q ~  $IfX$$Ifl*/064 la$If &dP ~$IfX$$Ifl*/064 la$If 1h/ =!"#$% i8@8 NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH 8`8 Heading 1$@& 56\]<A@< Default Paragraph Font"$!  12PQ~ ~  00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000    z})333 O}; <  M f o   - . 6 ~ Valued Gateway ClientLC:\Documents and Settings\OPS\My Documents\SSA\SSA duties involving hand.doc PQ~@ FR{ @UnknownGz Times New Roman5Symbol3& z Arial"hv᣹ޣc  %202QSSA duties involving hand:Valued Gateway ClientValued Gateway ClientOh+'0 <H d p | SSA duties involving hand:SA Valued Gateway Clientanalualu Normal.dotwValued Gateway Clientan8luMicrosoft Word 9.0n@ @l`@,&9@>   ՜.+,0 hp  Your Company Namev SSA duties involving hand: Title  !"$%&'()*-Root Entry F!/1TableWordDocument"$SummaryInformation(DocumentSummaryInformation8#CompObjjObjectPool!!
