TESTING ELEVATOR OPERATION
TESTING ELEVATOR OPERATION
1. With the seat in the
central riding
position
, power the elevator com-
pletely down and up the rail
using the
rocker switch on the seat arm
.
The unit should operate in such a way
that the arrow depressed on the rocker
switch corresponds to the desired
direction of travel.
2. Observe the elevator-to-wall clearance.
A clearance
of 1/2" to 1"
is acceptable.
3. Check that sufficient clearance exists
for the call/send antenna over the
entire rail.
4. Run the elevator up and down the
stairs with the remote call/send
transmitter.
5. Repeat Step 4 with the second
transmitter.
6. Raise the seat to the folded position.
7. Run the elevator completely up and
down the rail with the seat arm rocker
switch and then with each of the trans-
mitters.
8. If necessary, adjust the rail placement
by sliding it closer to, or further from
the wall.
9. Verify proper operation of:
• speed
• direction
• final limit switch
• footrest safety switch
• seat swivel safety switch
• remote call/send transmitter.
10.
Train the customer to use the
stairway elevator correctly and safely.
Be sure to have the customer operate
the unit while you are there to answer
any questions or concerns.
Remind the customer to always use
the seat positioning belt.
A slight delay will occur
between the time the
rocker switch is depressed
and the start of carriage
movement.
This is normal and is a
function of the soft start
feature of the controller.
The elevator should
travel noticeably
faster going up than
down.
