Re: Keyang Accident

Wow, had not thought of it coming form the breaker could it possibly be reseting in such a fast interval. If i was describing it i would say it was the motor, it sounded like a clutch or something. Does it have something protecting it form breaking itself like a clutch? It reminded me of a toy i used to have called Rrokenbok when you pushed past the motor with your hand it makes a clicking noise similar to this sound.

hard to tell it all happened so fast. I think we started to lower it slowly but th guy steadying the arm got surprised and drooped it. I assume when it fell the operator stopped pulling the joy stick.
