Note In addition to the items listed in the maintenance schedule/instructions provided by the lift manufacturer, the RC responsible for maintaining the lift shall also carry out the following maintenance items for not less than twice a year if the concerned lift does not equipped with unintended car movement protection device, ascending car overspeed protection device or double braking system. The following maintenance items shall be completed in one single maintenance visit. |
|
a)
Disassembly maintenance of the braking mechanism for the lift machine brake.
|
The RC shall ensure that the relevant components of the brake (e.g. brake lining, solenoid plunger, brake spring, etc.) are in good and safe working order and ensure that all levers and moving parts of the brake must be kept clean with smooth operation and properly lubricated, and the relevant parts of the brake replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. |
b)
Measure the braking distance
|
Measure the braking distance by performing no-load brake test to ensure compliance with the lift manufacturer's requirements. |
c)
Measure grooves of traction sheave in the lift traction machine and replace the traction
sheave in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements.
|
Perform no-load traction test for the lift and measure the leveling accuracy to ensure the traction and leveling accuracy are in compliance with the lift manufacturer's requirements. |
d)
Check the mechanical locks and electrical contacts of all lift landing doors to ensure they
are in safe working order.
|
Check operation |
