Description of Driving Event:
The hydraset control console is a self-contained system for the storage, metering, and regulation of compressible GN2. The pneumatic system delivers pressurized GN2 to the accumulator of the hydraset hoist control unit, which controls load movement in small increments. The source for GN2 can be either facility or k-bottle supply. The design of the hydraset remote control console is such that high GN2 pressure may be present in the flexhose between the k-bottle or facility GN2 supply and the remote control console. Disconnecting the flexhose under pressure may damage equipment and/or injure personnel.
