documents (such as the construction layout drawing, user manual and so on) before construction to
make full preparation for installation.
2.2 On-site investigation

2.2.2 Preparation of shaft way
All inspections must be done in accordance with the requirements of construction design
drawings！
1) Shaft way shall be checked, and horizontal line and center line of the finished floor shall be
clearly marked (done by the employer).

8.6 Lubrication of step (or pedal) chain
Lubricate manually the step (or pedal) chain at the first time of using escalator (or moving walk)
after installation. This work shall be done in the lower machine room. Check and operate to make
escalator (or moving walk) move upward, use oil can and brush to lubricate chain piece, and
prevent roller contacting oil as far as possible.
Oil
Lubricate step chain!

Don’t oil chain roller

Oil must be added to the junction of step axis and axle sleeve!
8.7 Tension and lubrication of main drive chain

When escalator (or moving walk) has no load, main drive chain shall have a sag of 5～10mm. Or
the four bolts in the fixed traction machine can be loosened, use wrench to turn tension bolt to
adjust the tension degree of drive chain and then lock screw tightly. Inspection control makes
escalator (or moving walk) move downward, oil can or brush is used to lubricate main drive chain.
8.8 Tension and lubrication of handrail drive chain
Handrail drive chain is between main axis of step (or pedal) drive and main axis of handrail. After
- 47 -
dismantling 4 steps (or pedals), move opening to front of upper comb plate and use this opening to
check or tighten drive chain. Loosen eight fixed bolts of flange bearing in the handrail belt drive
axle, and adjust left and right tension bolts uniformly to make sag of handrail drive chain which
has no load is 5～10mm, then tighten fixed bolt.
After dismantling 3 steps (or 6 steps), move opening to upper part of handrail drive chain, shut off
power, and use brush to lubricate handrail drive chain.
8.9 Tension and lubrication of end drive chain of handrail belt
Use bolt to adjust heights of two transitional chain wheels to adjust tension degree of end drive
chain of handrail belt. Make chain sag keep 5～10mm in no-load condition and tension degree of
two left and right chains keep uniformly.
Inspection control makes escalator move upward, and oil can or brush is used to lubricate chain.
8.10 Check and lubrication of step guide block
Check friction condition of step guide block in lower machine room of escalator, guide
components must be changed if they are damaged seriously (wearing loss reaches 1.2mm) because
this will make step hit guide rail and rub with skirt panel also. Lateral interval between skirt panel
and guide components shall be no more than 0.5mm, if necessary, you can adjust skirt panel or
correct step which has changed its place. Add lubricating grease into groove which is in the front
of step guide block.
8.11 Inspection of oil level of reducer
Pull oil scale out to check oil level. Oil shall be added within the scale range of oil scale if it is
necessary. Profession shall carry out maintenance if there is an oil leakage in reducer.
8.12 Inspection of auxiliary brake
After inspection and adjustment, all the moving parts of auxiliary brake shall move correctly,
flexibly, reliably; interval between drop pawl and face of brake block is generally about 10mm in
normal condition.

8.13 Maintenance of step (or pedal) guide rail

Step (or pedal) guide rail shall be cleaned completely. Cleaning work is finished in the opening of
step (or pedal). At the moment, inspection switch shall be used to give staged operation of
escalator (or moving walk), protective button and main power switch shall be stopped while
cleaning.
8.14 Clean of handrail belt
Use rag which is stained with few handrail belts cleaner to clean surface of handrail belt till the
surface shines, then use a dry rag to rub it dry.
8.15 Maintenance of safety device
Check sensitivity and reliability of safety device frequently, adjust position of safety switch if it is
necessary, and change unreliable safety switch timely.
