CAUTION
• The installation of the False Car, Platform, Canopy, and Handrails contains numerous potential pinch points. Be
mindful of the body placement of yourself and others during installation to avoid injuries such as smashed fin-
gers, toes, etc.
• The Adjustable Platform is very heavy and should not be installed by one person alone.
WARNING
• The Wurtec False Car is not intended for hoisting material. It is a man-riding suspended work platform rated for
use by up to two people including their tools and equipment. The Wurtec False Car is intended to be used only
with approved man-rated cable-climbing hoists. (ex: Dual-Lift, Tirak, Power Climber, etc.)
• If over speed limiter from hoist is engaged, lower attachment point must be inspected prior to putting false car
back into service.
• Rigging attachments must be rated for man-riding applications. The hoist point must be determined with a fac-
tor of safety based on the total weight of the False Car and its payload.
• Failure to tighten hardware on the False Car Cross Channel clamps may result in uncontrolled descent down
the hoistway, which may cause serious injury or death!
• Failure to tighten platform support hardware or overloading the platform may result in the platform separating
from the false car, which may cause serious injury or death!
• Failure to tighten handrail or canopy hardware may result in someone falling off of the platform or handrail/
canopy parts falling down the hoistway, both of which may cause serious injury or death!
• Use of materials other than those specified for the platform decking or canopy roofing may result in someone
stepping through the deck and potentially falling down the hoistway, or someone getting hit by falling objects.
Any of these scenarios may cause serious injury or death!
• Excessive wear or improper setting of Rail Guides may result in the false car becoming unrestrained in the
hoistway and potentially tipping over, which may cause serious injury or death!
• Objects falling through the gap at the peak of the canopy may cause serious injury or death!
• Avoid working under the platform during installation. A rigging error that results in the platform tipping or fall-
ing may cause serious injury or death!
• Large falling objects may not be deflected by the canopy and may cause serious injury or death!
EN 14502-1:2010 states: The roof of the False Car must withstand at least the impact of a 7-kg steel ball
dropped from a height of 2m, whereby the plastic deformation of the roof may not exceed 50mm
• Secure all entrances and openings to the platform from the hoistway.
• If replacing missing hardware, make sure any replacements have the same grade/class or better than the origi-
nals. Failure to use proper hardware may result in connection failures which may cause serious injury or death!
