Emergency rescue procedure
If the lift refuses to move with the assistance of the emergency-travel-button, an emergency rescue must be
carried out. Please take the following steps:
•
To free the passenger from the lift, the frictional resistance between the safety bars and safety bar motor
must be overcome manually - with the use of force.
•
Open the safety bar until it is in a vertical position. Please note that the access ramp is mechanically
connected to the safety bar and it will open when the safety bar is raised.
•
The passenger can now be assisted in leaving the lift on the upstairs side of the lift.
The emergency rescue procedure may only be carried out by trained personnel!
(i.e.: The
Lift Attendant
see
).
Do not underestimate the risks involved
when carrying out an emergency rescue!
(Injuries due to uncontrolled movement of lift, i.e.: fingers trapped or crushed in mechanism,
passenger falling from platform, etc.)
To ensure that the lift does not block access to the stairs, the platform should be folded away by hand and
secured with the tension belt provided. The tension belt has been handed over to you during installation,
together with the operating manual.
Ensure tension belt is threaded
up
over the top
of the safety bar
Insert the tension belt
between
platform
and threaded rod at the bottom of the lift.
Pay particular attention when tightening
the belt
not to scratch the lift
surface!
Where a
front mounted access ramp
is fitted,
pass the
belt over the top edge
of the ramp.
! ATTENTION ! - Sudden opening of the platform!
When the tension belt is removed the platform will fold down suddenly under its own weight.
