6.1 Emergency operation
The TW63 is equipped for emergency operation with a handwinding wheel
and a brake release lever that is delivered separately.
The brake release lever is to be applied to the cast-on recesses of the ends
of the brake blocks (see Fig. 6.1). Pressing the levers together presses the
brake blocks apart, opening the brake.
For emergency rescue of trapped persons, the handwinding wheel might also
have to be moved to bring the elevator car into the nearest landing.
Depending on the load, the elevator car can begin to move quickly after
opening the brake. Immediately let go of the handwinding wheel and control
the speed of the elevator car by pressing the brake release lever with varying
degrees of force.
Important: If the handwinding wheel is used for installation and maintenance
purposes
(e.g. "drawing out of the safety gear"), the person carrying out the work must
have a secure footing and stance. If the electrical recall is operated
simultaneously, there is a risk of injury.
