DESCRIPTION
Exterior View
Figure 1 shows the exterior components of the M2LIFT.
Safety Underpan
The safety underpan (shown in Figure 4) is located under the platform. The
underpan has sensors that detect any obstacles and stop the downward travel of
the lift. This is optional on enclosed units and required on open hoistways.
Gate Locks
The WR-500 gate lock keeps the gate locked when the platform is moving and not
at a landing.
NOTE
Keys are for emergency use only and should always be kept in a safe place for
use by trained personnel only. After use of any emergency function (access key
or manual lowering device), ensure that all doors/gates are secure and locked.
While the emergency function is in use, DO not leave the area unattended.
Emergency Gate Opening
- The gate can be opened manually using the emergency key provided for the WR-500 lock (Figure 5).
- Insert the key into the lock and turn it a half turn clockwise to unlock the gate. Pull the gate open and then turn the key a half turn counter-clockwise to remove it from the lock. DO NOT open the gate if there is any chance of falling from the platform.
Safety Brake
- The motor Safety Brake stops the platform in the event of a chain failure.
- During normal operation, the chain tension keeps the brake mechanism up so the brake cam does not interfere with the tower guide rail. If a chain failure occurs, the brake mechanism activates and stops the platform.
Emergency Stop Button
Pressing the red Emergency Stop button during travel will stop the lift
immediately and activate the alarm. The Emergency Stop overrides the landing
(call/send) stations. Be sure to pull the Emergency Stop button out to return
the lift to normal operation.
Battery Lowering
In the event of a power failure, press the DOWN button to bring the lift to
the lower level.
