How must the safety brake on an endless belt type manlift be reset?

The safety brake on an endless belt type manlift needs to be reset manually. This requirement is fundamentally rooted in safety protocols to ensure that a qualified person can assess the situation before resetting the brake, thus preventing unintentional operation of the manlift that could lead to accidents or injuries.

Manual resetting allows the operator to inspect the condition of the manlift and to confirm that the cause of the brake activation has been addressed, thereby enhancing overall safety. The necessity for a manual reset reflects the importance of human oversight in ensuring that equipment is in safe operational condition before use.

In contrast, automatic or external mechanisms for resetting would not offer the same level of safety and verification. Automatic systems might allow a manlift to operate again without sufficient confirmation of safety, and external mechanisms could pose further risks if they aren't adequately monitored or maintained. Thus, the manual reset procedure is a critical component in maintaining safe operations on endless belt type manlifts.
