 Escalator Safety Procedure- iv) Mechanical Blocking prior to working in truss

Method 1 – motor clamp (different model have different type of lock)

Types of mechanical
blocking depends on
escalator model. Mechanics
are required to perform at
least 2 mechanical blocking.

Always test to ensure

mechanical blocking done is
effective by trying to move
the motor

Method 2- apply brake and check step Method 3- synthetic slings (padded)
(maximum slide of 1.5 step length). around step axle in both directions
*To tighten or loosen the brake
