## Narrative

The slope hoist at the Wheatland portal malfunctioned.  The hoist would not operate.  After an investigation it was found that someone had hung a bundle of SO cable off the pull cord on the slope bottom.  This activated an alarm in the hoist house.    This required that numerous features of the hoist had to be reset.
