General Maintenance Instructions
General Maintenance
Your ThyssenKrupp Elevator is the finest piece of equipment
of its type on the market today. It is designed, manufactured
and installed to minimize maintenance. However, maintenance must be provided to prolong the life of your equipment
and protect your investment.
A planned sequential procedure, regularly performed, will
keep your maintenance cost to an absolute minimum and
ensure realization of the long trouble free service the
equipment was designed to deliver. The procedure should
begin the day the elevator goes into service. Cleanliness of
the elevator’s components, machine room and hoistway
cannot be overstressed.
Every precaution should be taken
when servicing any elevator,
whether specifically mentioned here or not. Common
sense precautions should be followed making sure life
and limb of the person servicing the elevator and the public is not endangered.
Procedures listed in this manual that involve entering the
hoistway or machine room should only be carried out by
a trained elevator professional. Electrical and mechanical
hazards exist for untrained service personnel who are unfamiliar with this type of equipment.
Make certain ALL voltage is removedbefore touching any
parts of the electric controller or its peripherals. Due to
the nature of some internal controller power supplies,
voltage may be present on some components after the input power source has been removed. Always check for
voltage with a meter before servicing any component.
Sliding Guides
1. Check Guide Shoes at regular intervals for condition and
adjustment. Check the clearance between guide shoes
and the guide rails. Sliding shoes should be fitted to the
rail with approximately
theshoesinplaceshouldbetight.Checkthatthebolted
connections on the guide rail and brackets are securely
fastened.
2. For sliding guide shoes, check that guide rails are coated
with a film of approved lubricant (nameplate specified) to
ensure smooth operation. Guide rail lubricators, when
used, are located either at the top of the guide rails or on
the top guide shoes. The level of lubricant should be
checked regularly and refilled when low.

Cabs
1. Visually inspect the cab for burned out lamps, damaged
flooring or carpeting and damage to cab fixtures.
2. Check that all bolted connections on the cab are tightened securely.
3. Ensure that the car sill is clean at all times as trash in the
sill grooves can affect proper door operation.
4. Keep the car push button station clean and dry, as dirt or
moisture can cause electrical problems.
When access to the pit or hoistway is necessary, see that
safety measures are used to protect the public as well as
the servicing personnel.

Gates and Doors
1. Check the car and hoistway doors and the door operator
for ease of operation. Any binding or dragging of the
doors indicates a need for alignment or adjustment.
2. Ensure that the doors are plumb and close completely.
Excessive looseness may constitute a safety hazard.
3. The guide grooves in the hoistway sills should always be
kept clean. NEVER sweep dirt or trash into the hoistway.
4. An experienced ThyssenKrupp serviceman should check
the power door operation, linkage and door hardware
regularly.
Checklist
S Ensure that all pivots in the linkage mechanism on the
doors have free operation and are lubricated sparingly.
S Inspect brushes regularly on DC motors and replace when
worn excessively.
S Check for proper operation of the switches and sensors
which governs acceleration and deceleration of the door
operator motor.
S Check that the pick-up rollers and clutch operate smoothly.
S Check the vee belts on the drive wheel and motor for ten-
sion, fraying or splitting.
Motors
1. Prevent dust accumulation by keepingthe machine room
and hoistway clean. Dust or dirt accumulated in thewindings will reduce the ability of the unit to dissipate heat and
impair efficiency.
S Should dust collect, blow it out, taking precautions to guard
against personal injury as well as to avoid damage to the
equipment.
2. Check the brushes of DC motors for wear and replace
where necessary, using only genuine ThyssenKrupp
brushes.
NOTE: Use of the wrong brushes may seriously damage the
commutator and/or interfere with the operation land adjustment of electrical components.
3. The spring tension of ThyssenKrupp brush holders is au tomatically maintained and never needs adjustment.
S Check to be sure the brush is free in its holder and the
spring is applying even pressure. ThyssenKrupp recommends that brush replacement be done by a qualified serviceman.
Failure to provide this regular maintenance, beginning when
the equipment is new, will eventually result in premature
failure of components with consequent equipment breakdowns. ThyssenKrupp Elevator strongly recommends that
maintenance be carried out by a member of their national
qualified service organization. There is no substitute for the
trained eye and hand of an experienced elevator serviceman.
