Elevator care
Here are tips for minimizing costs while ensuring optimal elevator performance
and appearance.
Elevator equipment requires regular care.
Things you can visually inspect
While a majority of service tasks must be performed by a trained elevator technician, your building personnel can perform the following
actions to help ensure proper and safe equipment operation:
•
Visually inspect the car for malfunctioning lights, damaged
flooring or damaged cab fixtures. These should be repaired by an
appropriately trained individual.
•
Ensure the car sill is clean at all times, as trash in the sill grooves
can affect door operation.
•
Check the doors for ease of operation. Any binding or dragging
indicates a need for alignment or adjustment from a properly
trained elevator technician.
•
Ensure the doors are plumb and close completely.
•
Excessive looseness may cause a safety hazard and will require an
adjustment by a properly trained elevator technician.
Powder coating
Clean all surfaces with a soft cloth or soft
natural bristle brush with a nonabrasive
PH-neutral solution. Do not use strong
solvents, such as thinners or solutions
containing chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters
or ketones, or any abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning your elevator
Your new elevator is a valuable investment. Here are routine steps to maintain your equipment’s appearance:
Plastic laminate
Routine cleaning with a mild detergent will
remove fingerprints, smears and everyday
spills. Do not use abrasives or
harsh chemicals.
Important
Whenever you use any cleaning or polishing products mentioned above, remember to always follow the
manufacturer directions. Alkaline ammonia solvents, hydrocarbon solvents and halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents should never be used on elevator push buttons.
Stainless steel
A mild detergent also removes fingerprints,
smears and routine spills. Consumer-type
glass cleaners and stainless steel cleaners
may also be used. Avoid the application of
stainless steel cleaner to elevator buttons.
Do not use abrasives or harsh chemicals.
