That was a stop gate bypass. The stop fate was a photo-eye setup, and if it was super windy and snow blew in front of it it would cause nuisance stops. We could bypass it until things improved.
You didn’t see a chair from the Eagle on this lift. I I never had to use one. I had two spares from when we shortened the lift and an original-style bail if I used both of those, which I did not.
What is the white mushroom button on the contol panel? I can only read the word “stop” on the legend plate…

Also triple-E and I lifts. Nice find! As an aside, the paramedic featured right at the end still works here, almost 30 years later.

When on this lift I saw a competition chair from the eagle on this, why was that? BTW: that’s a nice control panel on pic 7.
