substances may even cause complete failure of the
safety to function. If it is necessary for any reason to
use any of these substances, written recommendations
from the manufacturer of the elevator or a Professional
Engineer must be obtained before their application.
8.6.12.3.6 Car and Counterweight Safeties Mechanisms
and Governors
All moving parts of car and counterweight safeties mechanisms must
be kept clean and free from rust and dirt and must be lubricated at
frequent intervals.
Note: This is especially important where the equipment is
exposed to water or corrosive vapours or excessively
damp conditions because corrosion or rusting of the
parts may prevent operation of the safety.
8.6.12.3.6.1 Examination and Tests of Safeties and
Overspeed Governors
(1) All working parts must be examined and the safeties operated by
hand to determine whether they are in safe operating condition.
(2) If the safety is of a type requiring continual unwinding of the
safety drum rope to fully apply the safety, and it has been operated
by hand, not less than 3 turns of the safety drum rope must remain on
the safety drum after the safety jaws clamp over the rail to ensure
operation of overspeed application.
(3) When resetting drum-operated safeties by means of the wrench
in the car, sufficient tension must be kept in the safety-drum rope to
prevent kinking of the rope and to ensure that it is wound evenly and
uniformly in the drum grooves. The drum must be rewound until no
slack remains in the safety rope between the drum and the car
releasing-carrier.
(4) Overspeed governors must be examined and operated by hand to
determine that all parts and switches operate freely and are not worn
excessively.
(5) If a safety test indicates it may be necessary (e.g., excessive
slippage of governor rope through the governor jaw; the application
of the governor jaw causes damage to the governor rope), the
governor pull-through force must be tested for compliance with
Requirement 2.18.6.
(6) The governor tripping speed must be tested every time the seal
on the governor has been disturbed or examination indicates that a
retest is necessary.
(7) Safeties must be tested (see 8.6.12.3.6.1.1 and 8.6.12.3.6.1.2) if
the examination indicates that it may be necessary.
8.6.12.3.6.1.1 Procedures for Testing of Safeties
If the examination and test in 8.6.12.3.6.1 indicates that further
testing is required to confirm that the overspeed safety device
systems function as intended, safeties must be subjected to one of the
following tests with no load in the car and with the car moving in the
down direction while the safeties are being tested, or with the
counterweight moving in the down direction while its safeties are
being tested as follows:
(
a) type B or C governor-operated safeties must be engaged by
tripping the governor by hand with the car or counterweight
operating at its lowest speed;
(
b) type A governor-operated safeties must be engaged
(
i) in accordance with clause (a), or
(ii) the governor may be first set by hand and the car or
counterweight lowered onto the safeties by inching or
other means;
(
c) type A safeties without governors must be engaged by
providing the necessary slack rope to cause them to function.
8.6.12.3.6.1.2 Safety Test Results Criteria
During the tests set out in 8.6.12.3.6.1.1, the safeties must promptly
bring the car or counterweight to rest subject to the following:
(
a) in the case of Type A, B or C safeties employing rollers or
dogs for their application, the rollers or dogs are not required
to operate their full travel;
(
b) in the case of Type B safeties, the stopping distance is not
required to comply with Requirement 2.17.3;
(
c) in the case of Type C safeties, the oil buffer must be able to
compress its full stroke.
8.6.12.3.7 Hydraulic Components
8.6.12.3.7.1
Plungers of water-hydraulic elevators and dumbwaiters must be
thoroughly cleaned, as necessary, to remove any buildup of rust or
scale.
8.6.12.3.7.2
If valves and cylinders use packing glands, they must be periodically
checked and tightened or replaced as necessary to prevent excessive
loss of the fluid.
8.6.12.3.7.3
A means must be provided to collect oil from the cylinder head
packing gland.
8.6.12.3.7.4
The level of oil in the oil tanks must be checked and where necessary
adjusted to comply with the prescribed minimum and maximum
level.
Note: Where an unexplained loss of oil is likely to result in
an immediate safety hazard, the owner or agent shall
remove the elevating device from service until
appropriate remedial action has restored the device to a
safe operating condition.
8.6.12.3.8 Oil Buffers
8.6.12.3.8.1
The oil must be maintained at the level indicated by the
manufacturer.
