HUFCOR OWNERS MANUAL FOR SUMMIT VERTICAL LIFT PARTITION Page 3 of 4
To Close (extend) Partitions
- (Move partition from the storage above the ceiling into the opening.)
1.
Insert the key into the key switch and press the rocker switch to “close” (Fig. 1). Continue to press the button until
the partition is in the opening.
2.
Be certain to watch the panels as they descend to insure that there are no obstructions and that the path remains
clear.
Note
: If the partition comes in contact with an object while descending, the partition will automatically stop and
reverse 6”-12” [152-304mm]. Clear the obstacle. Turn the key to “Reset”, then to “On” and continue as before
until all the panels are in the opening. Depending on the height of the partition, you may see only a partial panel at
the top near the ceiling.
3.
After the partition is in the opening, the operator may turn the key to the straight up position and remove.
Removing the key will prevent unauthorized and untrained people from operating the partition.
To Open Partition
- (Move partition from the opening to the stored position.)
1.
Check both sides of the partition to make certain there are no obstructions or people near the path of the partition.
2.
Insert the key into the key switch, turn to “on” and press the rocker switch to “open” (Fig. 1). Continue to press the
button until the last panel no longer moves through the ceiling.
3.
Be certain to watch the panels as they lift through the ceiling to insure there no obstructions and that the path
remains clear.
4.
The operator may turn the key to the straight up position and remove. Removing the key will prevent unauthorized
and untrained people from operating the partition.

Summit Safety Systems
The Summit partition system has primary and secondary safety systems in the event a single safety system should fail.
Included are:
1. A certified load arrestor to stop a free fall occurrence.
2. An entrapment backup system on the lead edge of the panel that automatically reverses downward movement
when the lead edge makes contact with an obstruction in the path of the partition.
3. Certified Type B2 safety monitoring relay switches that can sense any failures between each limit switch and the
control box as the partition is operated during every cycle. The safety monitor switches automatically shut off
power to the motor drives if a failure occurs.
4. The system contains a constant contact finger switch. As the lead panel operates within the guide rail, the switch
will immediately shut off the motor drive power in the event of a free fall detection or an obstruction on the lead
edge.
5. Option: An optional second switch is available. The second switch has a push button. The two switches require
two people to operate the partition. One presses the rocker switch while the second person simultaneously presses
the push button. This option ensure operators are in full view of the opening on both sides during operation.
6. Option: Your system may have optional non-contact optical beams that detect objects that may inadvertently move
under the partition during operation.
IF YOUR PARTITION DOES NOT OPERATE, CONTACT YOUR HUFCOR DISTRIBUTOR IMMEDIATELY. ONE OF
THESE SAFETY SYSTEMS MAY HAVE DETECTED A FAILURE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE PARTITION
OR OVERRIDE ONE OF THESE SAFETY SYSTEMS. DOING SO COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DAMAGE TO YOUR
PARTITION.
IN THE EVENT OF POWER FAILURE
If the partition fails to operate and power IS NOT available to the partition, it can still be operated manually by using the
following methods:
1. Locate the gearbox/motor in the center of the run, above the ceiling.
2. Disengage the brake under the gearbox
3. While holding the manual release of the brake, rotate the shaft of the gearbox that extends through the
brake. You will need a drill to operate the wall.
