1 INTRODUCTION
This instruction describes actions needed to rescue trapped passengers safely out of OTIS 2000
hydraulic type elevator.
Rescue operations are divided into three different categories:
• Normal rescue - allowed for trained maintenance persons of the building or professional elevator
engineers.
• Technical rescue - allowed only for professional elevator engineers.
• Emergency rescue - special emergency personnel, for example firefighters.
NOTE! This instruction was compiled using only few elevators. Units manufactured in different years or
installed in different countries may have technical details or special features, which makes
them different from the units used to create this instruction. Therefore it is not always possible
to describe every procedure in detail, some elevators will need to be assessed on a case-by-
case basis locally.

situation are allowed.
• Do not move the car, if it is in door zone.
