25. Q. How would you remove clogs?

A. Clogs in upright elevators usually occur at the bottom. Raise the

door in the engine deck and remove the obstruction if in the elevator,

reverse the elevator screw forcing the obstruction back down in transfer

hopper. It may be a small mine spike lodged above this point, and by

removing the nut at top of elevator casing and removing the door the

obstruction can be easily removed.
