(2) Completely loosen the stopper on the upper roller guide shoe and loosen the spring to 50 % of the
preset value. (Prepare for the balancing work.)

(3) Loosen the spring and stopper on the lower roller guide shoe to see if the car moves freely.

(4) Push the car in the horizontal direction and hang on the car as you need to know the direction where
the car moves and how much power is needed to place the guide plate of the roller guide shoe at the
center of the guide rail and to place the safety device.

(5) Based on the information obtained in the step (4), attach the plumb on the lower part of the car to
carry out the balancing work. (Complete the balancing work.)

(6) Set the spring and stopper of the lower roller guide shoe to the settings below and check if the
distance between the car sill and hatch sill is appropriate and if the gibs of the safety device maintain
equal distance on the rail. (Complete the settings of the lower roller guide shoe.)

(7) Set the spring and stopper of the upper roller guide shoe to the settings below. (Complete the settings
of the upper roller guide shoe.)

(8) While manually operating the elevator over the entire floors, see if the distance between the hatch
door release roller and the car door clutch is constant and if there is any interference. (Perform final
check before high-speed operation.)

(9) Operate the elevator at high speed to check the ride comfort.

(10) If there is vibration, rotate the roller with appropriate force to check if it rotates well on the rail surface.
If there is a roller that is too tight, check if the gap on the stopper is appropriate and gradually loosen
the spring to check if the roller rotates properly. (Check and adjust if you do not feel satisfied with the
ride comfort.)

can rotate the roller with appropriate force using your hands.

<Troubleshooting for roller guide shoe adjustment>


• In the case of too much RGS vibration ;
(1) Check if damage has occurred on the surface where the roller and rail are in contact and replace
the damaged component if necessary.

(2) Check if you can rotate the roller with appropriate force using your hands.
• If you cannot rotate the roller with appropriate force ;
Check if the spring and stopper settings are appropriate.
• If you cannot rotate the roller with appropriate force even after adjusting the settings ;
After performing car balancing, readjust the spring and stopper settings and see if you can
rotate the roller with appropriate force.
