Following a few simple tips can help your

passengers enjoy a safe, trouble-free ride.

Enter and exit the elevator promptly. Do not

hold the doors open and carry on a conversation.

This will delay proper elevator service.

Watch your step when entering or exiting the

elevator. If uneven stops occur, call your

ThyssenKrupp Elevator TEAMServicespecialist.

Do not reach into the door opening to disrupt

the Microlight infrared beams. This device

is provided to reopen the doors if an

obstruction occurs.

Instruct tenants to promptly report any elevator

malfunctions to the building manager.

Children should never ride unattended. They

should not be allowed to play in an elevator.

S E C U R I T Y G U I D E L I N E S .

Full-time maintenance or security personnel

should be acquainted with the special features

of the elevator so that they can react properly in

any situation.

Keys to the elevator should only be used byauthorized personnel and kept in a secure central

location.

Lock the machine room door at all times. Only

authorized personnel should be allowed to enter,

and no materials may be stored there other than

those for elevator maintenance. Refer to Safety

Code for Elevators and Escalators ASME A17/B44,

Canadian Standards Association CSA/CAN-B44-

94 for details.

Stainless steel Routine cleaning with a mild dishwashing

liquid will remove fingerprints, smears and everyday liquid

spills. Consumer-type glass cleaners and good stainless

steel cleaners may also be used. Do not use abrasives such

as scouring powder.

Muntz (bronze) These surfaces are coated with a lacquer

finish, which should be waxed weekly with paste wax

(for clearcoat finishes) to prevent scuffing. Routine cleaning

with a soft cloth dampened with plain tap water will remove

spills, smears and fingerprints. Do not use any abrasives

or harsh chemicals. Muntz metal will require refinishing

periodically by a qualified refinishing company.

In order to save time and money, check the items

listed below before contacting ThyssenKrupp Elevator. This may

save you the cost of a service call and place the elevator back

in service quickly. Consult your local ThyssenKrupp Elevator

representative concerning what is and is not covered under the

maintenance agreement and to understand what maintenance

operations you should perform between service calls.

Make sure the Run/Stop switch in the car station is in

the normal Run position.

Check all key operated switches and make sure they are

in the normal operating position.

Be sure the hoistway door sill and cab door sill are free

of debris. Both sills should be cleaned regularly. Foreign

objects such as gum wrappers, paper clips and other trash

can collect in the sills preventing the doors from operating

properly and may shut down the elevator.

Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers in the

disconnect or meter room. Be sure your building has full

power from the power company.

For Oildraulic applications, if the elevator has been at rest

for an extended period of time, run the car up and down the

hoistway several minutes. This will heat the oil in the power

unit, ensuring optimum performance.

When you contact your local ThyssenKrupp Elevator

TEAMServicespecialist for a trouble call please have the

following information available.

EVERY THYSSENKRUPP ELEVATOR PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A NUMBER

OF DEVICES FOR THE PROTECTION AND CONVENIENCE OF PASSENGERS.

To ensure safety, personnel should become familiar with the function of

the keyswitch and push-button operations on the elevators. ALL KEY

OPERATION SHOULD BE USED BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY.

Consult your local ThyssenKrupp Elevator representative for state or

local codes that vary from the national code.

Not all the features listed below will be installed on your elevator.

M I C R O L I G H T

Electronic door edges detect when the elevator doorways are

blocked, keeping them open until the blockage is removed. If a

beam is interrupted, the doors will not close or will automatically

reopen if already closing. This door protection system replaces the

safety edge and photo eye.

V E N T S L O T S

All elevators are equipped with vent slots to ensure adequate air flow.

E M E R G E N C Y E X I T S

All elevators have an emergency exit on either the top of the car,

the side of the car, or both. These exits should be locked at

all times and used only by emergency personnel.

H O I S T W AY D O O R K E Y W AY

(WHERE ALLOWED BY CODE)

P O W E R F A I LU R E .

In the event of the loss of normal power, limited elevator

service is continued through an automatic transfer to our

Emergency Power operation. Then, when normal power is

restored, the elevators will automatically transfer back to

normal operation. If there is not a standby power supply, the

elevators will stop in progress and remain at rest until normal

power is restored.

EMERGENCY POWER OPERATION

An Emergency Power lowering system provides automatic or

manual return of an elevator to a predetermined landing during

a blackout or single-phase electrical condition. ThyssenKrupp

Elevator offers options for emergency power operation. If there

is a standby power supply, the elevators will automatically

return to the lowest landing and the doors will open, allowingthe passengers to exit. The doors will then close and the

elevator will shut down. The elevators will remain at that

landing until a car is manually selected.

Some applications allow the elevators to lower to a

pre-selected landing, cycle the doors, then shut down. If the

designated landing is above the elevator at the time normal

power is lost, the car will proceed to the next lowest landing,

cycle the doors and shut down. Personnel should be notified of

which landing the elevators will return to in the event of power

failure.

BATTERY LOWERING

As an option on our hydraulic elevators, we offer a Battery

Lowering Unit, which provides supplemental power for the

elevator when the building loses power. The unit returns the

elevator to the designated landing and opens the doors,

allowing passengers to exit safely.

PLEASE BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE EMERGENCY POWER

OPERATION OF YOUR BUILDINGS ELEVATORS.

S TA L L E D E L E VA T O R .

In the unlikely event that an elevator becomes stalled with

passengers aboard, do not attempt a rescue yourself.

While all ThyssenKrupp elevators have an emergency exit,

this exit should be locked at all times and used only during

an emergency by trained personnel. Please follow these

instructions carefully:

Establish and maintain communication with the

passengers inside the elevator by using the elevator's

telephone or intercom, or simply by calling through the

doors. Reassure the passengers that steps are being

taken to remove them from the elevator.

Find out if anyone is injured or ill. If so, arrange for

medical assistance.

Contact your local ThyssenKrupp Elevator office

and inform them of the situation.

Find out how many people are in the elevator.

Ask the passengers to stand clear of the doors.

Ask the passengers not to smoke.

Find out whether the regular elevator lighting or the

emergency light is operating. This will help determinethe degree of power failure.

KNOW AND UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR INVESTMENT WITH THYSSENKRUPP ELEVATOR CAN SERVE AND PROTECT

YOU AND YOUR TENANTS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.

F I R E S E R V I C E .

In the event of a fire, never use the

elevators to evacuate the building; use the stairways

to get to a safe place. Under no circumstances should

anyone except trained firefighters be allowed to use

the elevators after a fire has been reported.

Fire Service is initiated automatically by the buildings

smoke detectors or by activating the Fire Service keyswitch

located in the hall.

When this service is initiated, all hall and car calls are

cancelled, the elevators return to a designated floor, the

doors open and remain open. Trained firefighters then

may activate the Fire Service keyswitch in the elevator

and gain control of the car.

To return to normal operation, return the elevator to the

assigned Fire Service floor, hold constant pressure on the

door open push-button and turn the Fire Service keyswitch

in the car station to the Off position. Next, place the hall

Fire Service keyswitch in the Bypass or Reset position.

Pause momentarily, then turn the keyswitch to the Off

position. Only authorized personnel should be permitted to

reset Fire Service, after being certain there is no fire in the

building, and the smoke/heat detectors have been reset.
