Emergency manual descent
Emergency manual descent in
case of emergency
The emergency manual descent is a device for descent without motor power. If
the power supply fails, the cabin can be lowered manually using the emergency
manual descent device.
DANGER!
Risk of injury from overstressed components!
Only use the emergency manual descent in an emergency!
The emergency manual descent brake is not designed for continuous
operation. The descent with the manual descent lever must be
interrupted every 30 metres for 5 minutes!
In a particularly dangerous situation (danger to life and limb), the cooling
phases can be omitted. Maintenance must then be carried out immediately by
the manufacturer (in accordance with the annual inspection plan).
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to collision with the service lift!
Check the route before starting the manual emergency descent and during
travel. Ensure that there are no persons or objects along the route of travel.
If there is a risk of collision, the service lift must be stopped immediately.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to shearing or crushing!
Do not open any doors or flaps during emergency manual descent. There is a
risk of crushing and shearing since the safety devices are not activated.
