HOW TO CHECK ROPE TENSION
First, ensure that all safety procedures are observed before continuing. Position the lift
car so that both the car and counterweight ropes can be accessed without the need to
move the lift. Then working from the car top:
Fit one rope tension gauge onto a car rope at a
comfortable working height (preferably the rope that
has the highest tension).
Using the adjustment tool provided…
Bring the pointer into the mid-scale position on the
rope tension gauge. The rope should now be slightly
deflected.
Position the second gauge onto the same rope and
adjust using the tool provided to obtain the same
pointer reading as on the first (reference) gauge.
