Technical Information-3
Gates and Doors
1. Check the car and hoistway doors and the door operator
for ease of operation. Any binding or dragging of the
doors indicates a need for alignment or adjustment.
2. Ensure that the doors are plumb and close completely.
Excessive looseness may constitute a safety hazard.
3. The guide grooves in the hoistway sills should always be
kept clean. NEVER sweep dirt or trash into the hoistway.
4. An experienced ThyssenKrupp serviceman should check
the power door operation, linkage and door hardware
regularly.
Checklist
S
Ensure that all pivots in the linkage mechanism on the
doors have free operation and are lubricated sparingly.
S
Inspect brushes regularly on DC motors and replace when
worn excessively.
S
Check for proper operation of the switches and sensors
which governs acceleration and deceleration of the door
operator motor.
S
Check that the pick-up rollers and clutch operate smoothly.
S
Check the vee belts on the drive wheel and motor for ten-
sion, fraying or splitting.
Failure to provide this regular maintenance, beginning when
the equipment is new, will eventually result in premature
failure of components with consequent equipment break-
downs. ThyssenKrupp Elevator strongly recommends that
maintenance be carried out by a member of their national
qualified service organization. There is no substitute for the
trained eye and hand of an experienced elevator serviceman.
Rotating electrical equipment.
Use strict safety precautions
when performing these tasks. Do not wear loose clothing,
jewelry or other items that can become entangled in the
moving parts of the machine or belts. Never place your-
self physically in a position where unexpected motion of
the machine could be harmful.
Motors
1. Prevent dust accumulation by keeping the machine room
and hoistway clean. Dust or dirt accumulated in the wind-
ings will reduce the ability of the unit to dissipate heat and
impair efficiency.
S
Should dust collect, blow it out, taking precautions to guard
against personal injury as well as to avoid damage to the
equipment.
2. Check the brushes of DC motors for wear and replace
where necessary, using only genuine ThyssenKrupp
brushes.
NOTE:
Use of the wrong brushes may seriously damage the
commutator and/or interfere with the operation land adjust-
ment of electrical components.
3. The spring tension of ThyssenKrupp brush holders is au-
tomatically maintained and never needs adjustment.
S
Check to be sure the brush is free in its holder and the
spring is applying even pressure. ThyssenKrupp recom-
mends that brush replacement be done by a qualified ser-
viceman.
