Before energizing the overhead trolley, what should you verify?

Verifying the overhead trolley's location, connection to a car, and damage status is crucial before energizing it to ensure operational safety and efficiency.

First, the location check ensures that the trolley is situated in the proper area, which is essential for its intended function and to prevent accidents, such as interference with other equipment or personnel. Next, confirming that the trolley is correctly connected to a car is vital, as improper connections can lead to mechanical failures or electrocution risks when power is supplied. Lastly, inspecting for any signs of damage is key to identifying potential hazards that could cause malfunctions or accidents when the trolley is energized.

This comprehensive approach prioritizes safety and operational integrity, setting a solid groundwork for efficient functionality when the trolley is activated.
