## Narrative

The silver shaft hoist would not clutch in or out on the north side.  Mechanics diagnosed that the weight on the hoist rope from pulling muck for a full shift caused the clutch to stick.  The Mechanics chaired the cage on top station after emptying the skip to get any residual weight off of the clutch so it would clutch in and out.
