IMPORTANT! This manual is a general guide to the “X” series of Hydraulic and Winding Drum el-evators. ECL by Wurtec’s line of elevators are designed to be robust and highly customizable, so it is almost impossible to document every component in this manual. Some of the parts for your install may be job specific or updated. Check the installation documentation package for draw-ings specific to your job. If you need further assistance please contact our technical support line for help.

IMPORTANT !Check hoist way against shop drawing for correct dimensions, plumbness, pit size, squareness, cylinder hole if required, travel and overhead.

Check shop drawing (also in same packet) for location of center of the face of the rails in relation to the hoist way entrance. Mark this spot on the pit floor. At this point, it is advisable to suspend a plumb line from the ceiling so that it hits the marks. Check that the distance from the line to the back wall is no less than indicated on the drawing, and no more than 1/4” greater than indicated.

TYPE “A” INSTANTANEOUS SAFETY WITH SLACK ROPE ACTUATIONADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

1. Adjust the guide shoe or roller so there is about 1/16 clearance between the safety backup block and the backside of the rail. 2. Adjust the bearing plates so that both rollers engage the rails at the same time. The link rod goes throughthebearingplates,whichareboltedtotheplatformbeams.Theyhaveslottedholesfor adjustment. 3.

WARNING! Remove any temporary shackle retaining devices (split nuts) and verify that shackles on car frame are free to move and engage the safety mechanism.

4. Now make sure that there is proper clearance between the safety roller and the rail when the safety is fully retracted. Put enough weight on the car to compress the shackle springs fully to the stop tube.
