Narrative

Hoistman identified that was having issues with the service cage positioning on the hoist monitor. The empty service cage was then sent in manual to the 4450 station, a known location, to verify the accuracy of the position indicator. In the process the service cage traveled past the station and contacted the shaft bottom damaging a guide wheel and chair linkage.
