Manual Brake Release

The brakes can be manually released in the event of loss of power.
NOTE: The manual releasing device should be operated by 3 professionals, and make
sure the power is shut down first.
1. Insert the brake release levers into the cam release on top of each brake. Align the pin
on the brake release lever with the mating groove on the cam release to prevent the
brake release lever from slipping.
2. Apply force to the end of the brake release levers until the brake releases from the
brake wheel.
3. The brake opening brake release levers must be removed from the cam release prior to
normal elevator operation.
