Always refer to manufacturers' instruction book for proper test equipment operation
and adjustments.
Megger or buzzer-type continuity testers can damage electronic components. Connection
of devices such as voltmeters on certain low level analog circuits may degrade electronic
system performance. Always use a voltmeter with a minimum impedance of 1M Ohm/Volt.
A digital voltmeter is recommended.
To avoid personal injury, do not touch exposed electrical connections or components while
power is ON.

mation on installation and service.
Upon arrival of the equipment, inspect it for damage. Promptly report all visible damage to
the carrier. All shipping damage claims must be filed with the carrier.
During storage in a warehouse or on the elevator job site, precautions should be taken to
protect the equipment from dust, dirt, moisture, and temperature extremes.
Vertical Express elevator personnel will no longer drill or modify any doors with asbestos
containing materials (ACM) or possible asbestos containing materials (PACM). All elevator
doors manufactured or installed 1980 and earlier will be treated as having ACM/PACM.
Doors with ACM/PACM should be replaced rather than modified. If replacement is not fea-
sible, abatement modifications shall be done by a licensed asbestos abatement company.
Vertical Express mechanics will safely stage the equipment for the abatement team, or
remove the doors and seal them with plastic for delivery or pick up by the asbestos abate-
ment company.
Doors manufactured or installed 1980 and earlier may be modified by Vertical Express
employees if a test is conducted by a licensed asbestos company prior to work showing
zero evidence of ACM/PACM.
All employees that risk exposure to asbestos will complete Vertical Express safety depart-
ment approved asbestos awareness training.
All employees will stop any work that could expose them to ACM/PACM, and immediately
contact their supervisor and their safety manager. All exceptions must be approved by the
Director of Health and Safety.
