2700×1300×400), which will be placed on the middle truss of the escalator. Generally, A. 1 packing
list and B. articles listed in the packing list are internally installed.
Integral packing
Packing by section
1.3 The escalator outside is wrapped by the packing bag with metal film, with hoisting wire rope
exposed at both ends. And, the hoisting indication mark is pasted at the outside of the packing bag.

1.1 The escalator has been subject to the precise debugging before delivery; except the removal
and installation have been done to the handrail system, other parts are not in need of readjustment.
1.2 The skirt panel of the escalator is the guidance for the step operation, which has been strictly
adjusted before delivery. It is forbidden to randomly remove or adjust it if there are no special
conditions.
1.3 Applied tools:
6 5mm T-shaped internal hexagonal spanner 1
2. Clear all impurities on the escalator, and remove the partition board of the lower machine room.
3. Refer to the “Chapter XIII Site commissioning, inspection, and cleaning” of the manual; connect the
power supply; make the electric inspection for the initial operation, and keep the inspection and
operation status of the equipment (namely, open the inspection plug and insert the inspection
manipulator).
4. Use the inspection box to slowly inch the escalator upwards and downwards (pay attention not to
making operation on the step); furthermore, adjust the spring 1 of the handrail pulley group to be with
the length of 50mm.
5. Check operations of the handrail; here, it shall be operated synchronously, if requirements can’t be
met, the adjustment shall be made according to following methods.

5.1 After the escalator ascending, if the lower deflection between two handrail riding wheels of
the line segment is larger than 20mm, re-tension the handrail pulley group to make the deflection be
between at 10~20mm. If the handrail can’t be operated synchronously, adjustment shall be made
according to following methods.
5.2 In the lower machine room, continuously remove 2~3 steps; before moving the step neutral
to the place before the comb plate, press down the emergency stop button of the inspection box, and
close the main switch. Consequently, properly compress the spring of the pressure device in the
ladder way; after that, make commissioning till the synchronous requirements of the handrail are met
after exiting from the ladder way (pay attention to that if the spring is compressed too much, though
the synchronization of the handrail can be guaranteed, the service life of the multi-wedge belt will be
shortened; accordingly, the fact that the handrail can be stopped artificially during the descending of
the escalator will be proper).
6. After the descending of the escalator, the clearance between inside and outside of the friction
wheel shall be consistent fundamentally (the difference between inside and outside shall be smaller
than 2mm). If the requirements can’t be met, the adjustment shall be made according to following
methods (pay attention to that the inching shall be made gradually during adjustment; effects shall be
observed during the ascending and descending commissioning; or else, the default status of the
product will be lost).
6.1 After the ascending of the escalator, if the interior clearance of the friction wheel is too small,
the nut 7 shall be loosened according to the following figure to make the upper handrail pulley group
face inwards. Or else, the nut 7 shall be screwed down to make the upper handrail pulley group face
outwards.
6.2 After the ascending of the escalator, if the interior clearance of the friction wheel is too small,
the bolt 4 shall be screwed down according to the following figure to make the upper handrail pulley
group face inwards. Or else, the bolt 4 shall be loosened to make the upper handrail pulley group face
outwards.
6.3 Lock down the adjusted nut and bolt.

7. Make the adjustment to the step chain tension spring in the lower machine room; the tension spring
of the step chain shall be compressed to the proper length. The experience dimensions of the step
chain tension spring are as follows:
H 4000 The tension spring of the step chain shall be compressed to: 125mm
4000 H 6000 The tension spring of the step chain shall be compressed to: 120mm
H 6000 The tension spring of the step chain shall be compressed to: 115mm;
Inspect the operating escalator for ascending and descending for more than one ring, so as to check
conditions of the step chain at the turning point of the lower machine room. And, the step chain shall
have symmetrical and central position as well as stable transmission on left and right turning tracks.
Otherwise, following inspections shall be made:
7.1 Check if the mobile trolley of the tension device of the step chain is seized;
7.2 Check if the middle transmission part of the step chain is normal.
8 Loosen the lock screw of the comb pedal according to the following figure.

comb pedal (pay attention to avoiding that the inspection box connections are scratched by the step);
inspect the engagement of the comb and step, and ensure that no comb scratches with the step and
the clearance is larger than 0.5mm. If the requirements are not met, the adjustment can be made
according to following methods.
9.1 If individual steps scratch with the comb, the position of the step on the step shaft shall be
adjusted.
9.2 If lots of steps scratch with the comb, the left and right positioning screws in the above figure
shall be adjusted (pay attention to that it is forbidden to jack up the left and right parts of the comb
pedal to the top; the gap of 0.5mm shall be kept, and the lock nut shall be screwed down after
adjustment).
9.3 If the requirements can’t be met by above methods, loosen the nut 1 and adjust the step
guide bar 2 according to the following figure.
10. Make the escalator be in the ascending and descending status, and inspect the adjustment effect.
If abnormalities occur, make readjustment according to above steps.
11. After completing above steps, properly lubricate the step chain, tractor driving chain, and handrail
driving chain with lubricating oil. If the automatic filling device is prepared, properly fill the lubricating
oil in the storage drum of the oil filler till the max. oil level is reached; check oil dripping positions of all
oil filling points (misplacement may occur during transportation and installation of the escalator or
sidewalk). If necessary, make corrections.
12 Install the removed step and partition board of the machine room.
