Bonner III -2-February 22, 1977 All tows met this requirement with the exception of tow #3 which had a stopping distance of 28 feet. Tow #3 is not equipped with an automatic brake. The tows were then operated to determine if they met the require ments of para. 2.2.5.4.2, ANSI Standards which requires that a safety gate be so located that the distance from the stopping device (safety gate) to the first obstruction or point of reversal of direc tion of the towing outfits is 150 per cent of the distance required to stop the empty lift operating at maximum speed. All tows met this requirement with the exception of tows #3 and #6. Warning signs were inspected to determine whether or not they met the requirements of para. 2.1.1.2.4 of the ANSI Standards. Although the signage did not conform to the letter of the ANSI Regulations (they were not uniform in size and wording) in my opinion they con form with the spirit and intent of the Regulation. OTHCR MATTERS: Although not required in the ANSI Regulations, the operator of the area has erected fencing around the tow equipment at the loading and unloading areas. From the standpoint of safety, I recommend and advise that these fences be provided and maintained in place in a good state of repair. The fencing in place on Phase JI was ade quate and in good repair. I noted several instances of fence dis repair on the Phase I tows. In conclusion, based upon my inspection of Phase I and Phase TI of the Ski-Tonka facilities, it is my opinion that the facilities inspected meet the ANSI Standards with the following specific excep tions: ’ a) Tows #3 and #6 require either: Operation at a slower speed, or installation of brakes, or relocation of safety gate. b) operations. Efforts should be made to repair fencing on Phase I Yours very truly. f < Gerald T. Tasa, P.E.
