Lifting equipment intended for people requires particularly careful maintenance. Timely elevator repair guarantees not only the trouble-free operation of important mechanisms, but also minimizes the risk of failure at the most crucial moment. During daily operation, it is important to pay attention to some aspects of the operation of the elevator in the room.
Main signs for stopping an elevator
Without experience in operating lifting equipment, an ordinary person cannot always recognize the first signs of breakdowns. It is for this reason that this responsibility is assigned to technical personnel. There are several typical reasons why it is easy to determine that an elevator needs repair, maintenance or adjustment of mechanisms and electronics:
- doors do not want to close or do not fit tightly;
- level the floor of the cabin does not correspond to the ceiling of the floor;
- an unpleasant metallic grinding sound during the lifting of the cabin;
- sharp jerks when the elevator starts or stops in the shaft;
- any electrical problems also needs to be addressed immediately.
Once problems are detected, the elevator must be stopped and disconnected from the network. Wait for specialists who can diagnose the breakdown and solve the problem. Adjust the mechanics and electronics so that the lifting equipment continues to operate normally.
What you should pay attention to
Atypical situations include the presence of a large amount of water in the cabin or elevator shaft. Unpleasant smell of burnt electronics. The light in the cabin does not burn steadily. Unpleasant persistent odor of any nature. In all these cases, the elevator needs repairs.
