Anyone planning on using this elevator must be trained in its proper use and
have read this owner’s guide.
Always verify the elevator has properly leveled at the landing (to avoid tripping
or falling) before entering or exiting the car.
Do not attempt to bypass, or otherwise tamper with, any of the safety systems.
Do not exceed maximum capacity of the elevator. A capacity tag is posted in the car.
Never open a gate, or hoistway door, while the elevator is in motion (it will stop
the elevator).
If you detect a problem with your elevator, do not use it. Call your elevator
contractor immediately.
Do not use this elevator in the event of fire or smoke in the residence.
Avoid using your elevator during severe weather conditions or when there is a
strong possibility of power surges, or outages.
Do not use if there is a possibility of weather related damage to the elevator
equipment or hoistway (i.e.: flooding, shifted or tilting hoistway walls).
Do not use your elevator if the gate switches or hoistway door locks are not
operating properly. Call your dealer or serviceman at once.
Never extend any part of the body or objects through the gate(s) while
operating.
Safe operation requires a maintained hoistway temperature of between
60° - 110°F.
Do not expose electrical components to the elements or extreme temperature
fluctuations. Resulting condensation will damage equipment, causing it to
malfunction. If exposed, let sit for 12-24 hours prior to operation.

Each floor button will illuminate as the elevator passes that floor until the destination
is reached.
• Alarm. When pressed, the alarm button rings a bell alerting others within the
home to your need for assistance.
• Emergency Stop Button. Immediately stops the elevator.
• Light Switch. A light switch for your convenience comes standard on all car

opening the door.

Accordion Gate
The Accordion Gate secures the car opening during operation. This gate provides a
solid barrier between the car and the hoistway, preventing items from accidentally
protruding into the hoistway during operation. The Accordion gate is standard on all
cars.
• Maintenance. Dust and/or clean the panel surfaces with a clean cloth. Do not use
harsh chemical or abrasive cleaners. Keep the gate track clear of dirt or debris.
• Convenience. One less step to remember during the operation of your new
elevator. The hands free advantage is very helpful for those with limited mobility
and strength.
• Out of Sight. The power gate operator is mounted on the top of the elevator car.
Verify that all gate(s) and doors are securely closed. The elevator will not operate if a
gate or door is even partially open.
Check the red Emergency button by pulling and then pushing the button back into
proper running position.
Do not attempt to repair the elevator yourself. Trained technicians can safely,
and quickly, determine the problem and the correct solution.
Pushing call buttons or floor buttons repeatedly will delay operation and potentially
shut down controls.
Emergency Extraction
Battery Lowering Feature -
When an elevator loses main power, the battery will continue powering the unit for
one half hour. The battery lowering feature will only allow the elevator to be
lowered (not raised) to any floor below its current position.
Manual Operation -
If the cables are slack or mis-grooved, manual operation should not be attempted,
call for service immediately!
The service disconnect (located in the control space) must be in the “OFF” position
before using the hand wheel. Keep all loose/dangling items (neck ties, long hair,
jewelry, etc.) away from the powerhead. If the unit is accidently started while
using the hand wheel, severe injury could result!

Mechanical Interlock (EMI) use the key provided to
open the lock from the outside of the hoistway.

hoistway door until the handle contacts the door.
If there is no hole in the hoistway door proceed to
the instructions for unlocking the door from the

the key to lift the interlock pin. Slowly open
hoistway door with interlock pin raised.
