Rail Sections and Sling Start with assembling the rail wall. Use the drawings to establish your centerline of the rail wall and locate with your laser to ensure your first section of rail is centered accordingly. It is very important to ensure that the rails are plumb and level. Depending on the construction of the rail wall, you may need to shim the rail sections when attaching to the rail wall using the supplied shims as required.
Sling Installation The shipment includes a pre-assembled sling, and there are two methods for its installation: First Method (install as received) Using the chain hoist, lift the sling and carefully lower it into the rail assembly. Ensure that the rollers ride on the inside surface of the rails, gently lowering the car frame to the bottom of the rail section.

Second Method (recommended) 1. Remove the 4- wheels assembled on 4. Reassemble the upper two wheels back on each corner of the sling (see Figure 1a). the sling. 5. Reassemble the L-Bracket for the brake back on the sling. 6. Using a ratchet strap or a similar lifting tool, safely lift the sling approximately 10 inches and then install the lower two wheels back on the sling (see Figure 1d).
Installation of Upper Rail Wall For units with more than two rail sections, it is advisable to utilize the full sets of rail lengths for the middle section, given their tongue and groove Figure 2 alignment mechanism. • Align and position the upper rail assembly on top of the lower rail assembly (refer to Figure 2).
Cylinder and Sheave Installation Figure 3 1. Utilize the winch to elevate the cylinder for installation onto the cylinder post, ensuring the bottom hole of the cylinder rests flush atop the post. Consult Figure 3 for reference. 2. With the cylinder’s bottom in position and the winch securing it, fasten the U-clamp to ensure the cylinder remains straight.
Pump Installation and Hydraulic Hose Connection (Cylinder to Pump): 1. Position the pump within the machine room at your chosen spot (Ideally right below the controller), ensuring to place the provided rubber gasket beneath it (to minimize noise and vibration). 2.
Guider - Unistrut Assembly 1. Affix the L Guiding bracket onto the rail bracket itself. See Figure 7. 2. Install the Guider (slippers) atop the sheave assembly using the provided bolts. Refer to Figure 8. L - Guiding Bracket Figure 7 Glider Attachment with sheave Figure 8...

3. Guide the slippers through the Unistrut. Consult Figures 8a, 8b, and 8c for proper installation. Figure 8a Figure 8b Figure 8c 4. Rail bracket have pre-tapped holes for mounting the Unistrut. Consult Figure 9. Figure 9 Rail Sections and Sling...
Shackle Installation Cylinder Post Shackle Installation 1. Affix the provided shaft collar or one nut on top of each shackle to prevent shackle rotation. 2. Securely attach the two shackles to the cylinder post. 3. Attach two nuts to the bottom of each shackles. 4.

Sling/Platform Shackle Installation 1. Affix the provided shaft collar or one nut on top of each shackle to prevent shackle rotation. 2. Securely attach the two shackles to the platform. 3. Attach the springs to the bottom of each shackle. Attach a washer followed by two supplied nuts to the bottom of the springs on each shackle.
Rope Installation • Before installing the rope, ensure that the platform is in the correct roping position. The elevator will not reach the top and bottom landings correctly unless the roping position is set correctly. • In hoistways with a deep pit, you may have to prop up the sling before beginning to install the cable.
Controller Installation and Wiring 1. Install the Controller according to the specifications outlined in the engineering drawings. 2. Direct the primary 220V power line to the Main disconnect, referring to Figures 12 and 12a. Ensure that this line is routed through a BX cable to the Main disconnect. Figure 12 Figure 12a 3.
Temporary Run Mode Instructions (Install mode) 1. Once all mentioned power wiring is complete, establish connections by attaching two temporary Jumpers from DL1 (CN19-3) to DL4 (CN19-22), and from DC1 (CN19-1) to DC4 (CN19-20). 2. Ensure the connection of all Cab Security (CS) connections. 3.
Test the Drive System and Inspect Platform Clearance • Move the lift up and down on the shaft to confirm the operation. Before proceeding with the additional installation steps, it is advisable to examine the clearance between the cab floor and each landing. Follow the steps below: 1.
AT-LOCK Interlock Installation Prior to commencing the installation of the interlock, it is crucial to verify the Door Lock (DL), Door Close (DC), and Solenoid contacts on your interlocks. Please refer to the installation video for a comprehensive guide on verifying your interlock contacts before proceeding with the following steps: 1.
Installation of Hall Call Stations Hall call stations can be permanently installed once the door installation is complete. Alternatively, for temporary purposes, you can install them inside the hoistway. Route the wires from the hall call stations back to the controller, and for the proper termination of the hall call stations, consult the wire sheet package.
Cab Assembly The cab platform has been previously assembled, ensuring proper clearance with landings and all the walls. • Align the railside cab wall with the rails and secure it in place using the top 4 bolts. The installation of the remaining cab walls is straight forward. We recommend starting with the railside wall and proceeding in a clockwise direction walls.

Wiring Within the Hoistway Please note that multiple approaches can be employed to route wiring from different landing devices to the main controller. Local codes and site conditions may influence your decisions, and the most common methods include: 1. Running a cable directly from each landing device back to the controller. (HOME RUN METHOD) 2.
Tape Reader Installation Process Tape Head Installation • The tape and reader can be mounted on either side (right or left) of the rail walls. Depending on site conditions, you may need to drill holes to install the L-bracket for the tape head. Tape Head Bracket •...
Bottom Bracket for the Tape Mount • Using the hardware included in the tape reader box: 3:1 Insert the threaded rod portion into the bottom bracket. 3:2 Slide the flat washer from the bottom. 3:3 Insert the spring. 3:4 Install another flat washer. 3:5 Install the two nuts.
