develoP minimum stresses in a. Routine - The examination and operation of
the auxiliarY safetY Plant during
safetY gperation.
Buffers shall be located in line
with and sYmmetricallY between
the guide rails.
(e) The auxiliary safety plank shall
be so suPPorted and guided
below the car frame that the
clearances for the safetY Parts
are maintained during normal
oPeration.
The auxiliarY safetY Plank shall
be so designed that the
maximum stresses in the Plant
shall not exceed those sPecified
for similar car-frame members
in Section 6.D.4.
(f) The rail-gripping device of the
auxiliary safety plank shall be so
arranged and connected as to
prevent the plank from being out
of level more than 13 mm in the
length of the plank when the
safety is operated to stop the
car.
(g) An "electric switch shall be
provided and so arranged and
connected that the elevator
cannot,.be operated by means of
the normal operating device if
any buffer is compressed more
than 10% of its stroke.
(h) Means shall be provided to
prevent operation of the
elevator by means of the normal
operating device if the oil level
in any buffer is below the
minimum allowable level.
h. Compensating Rope Tie-Down.
For rated speeds greater than 3.56
m/s, a device shall be provided to
tie the car and counterweight
together to limit the jump of the car
counterweight as a result of buffer
engagement or application of car or
counterweight safety.

equipment at specified intervals by an
inspector to check for compliance with the
applicable Code Requirements.
b. Periodic - Routine inspection and tests plus
additional detailed examination and
operation of equipment at specified intervals
witnessed by an inspector to check for
compliance with the applicable Code
Requirements.
c. Acceptance - The initial inspection and test
for a new or altered equipment to check for
compliance with the applicable Code
Requirements.
6.2.11 Speed Governors
a. Car Speed Governors
1. Car safeties, and countenrveigtt
safeties where furnished shall be
actuated by seParate governors.
Exception: Speed governors are not
required for the operation of safeties
of counterweights of elevators
having a rated speed of not more
than 0.76 m/s (see Sec. 6.D.6.3 and
6.D.6.6).
2. The governor shall be located
where it cannot be struck bY the car
or the counterweight in case of over
travel, and where there is adequate
space for full movement of governor
parts.
b. Car Speed Governors. Speed governors
for car safeties shall be set to trip at car
speeds as follows:
1. At not less than 115o/o of the rated
sPeed.
2. Maximum tripping sPeeds for
intermediate rated speeds shall be
determined from Fig. 6.D.7.2. for
rated speeds exceeding 7.62 mls,
the maximum triPPing sPeeds shall
not exceed 120Yo of the rated
speed.
c. Gountenreight Speed Governors. Speed
governors, where Provided for
counterweight safeties, shall be set to trip at
