2.9.2.1 Drive If the screw machine is mounted on the car and accessible for inspection andmaintenance from an access panel in the side or rear car wall, check the access panel to verifythat it is normally kept closed and locked and that the key is available only to inspectors,
maintenance personnel and repair personnel Insure that the machine cannot be operated whenthe access panel is open If the screw machine is equipped with a safety nut below the drive nut,carefully measure the space (distance) between the drive nut and the safety nut Compare thisspace with the space when the drive nut and safety nut were originally installed by referring tothe Safety Nut Spacing Data Tag attached to the screw machine A reduction in this space is anindication of wear of the drive nut Any reduction of the separation space of more than onethirty-second (1/32) inch should be reported Examine any belts or chains in the screw machinedrive for proper tension, wear and damage; including cuts, breaks, or separation Check
tension devices, if provided, to verify that they are in proper adjustment to detect slack or brokenbelts or chains Check all machine fastening bolts to determine that none have become loose orare missing Visually inspect the electrical service connection to the motor to verify there is notevidence of chafing, damage, or looseness Inspect the screw column to verify that it is
lubricated in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations After temporarily making thecontact on the access panel inoperative so that the screw machine can be operated with the accesspanel open, operate the elevator car in each direction while observing the brake functions and therotation of the machine Promptly upon interruption of power to the drive machine, stop the car
2.9.2.2 Control Equipment If the controller is located on the car and accessible for inspectionand maintenance from an access panel in the side or rear car wall, proceed with the inspection asdescribed previously in this chapter
2.9.2.3 Hoistway Equipment If the particular design and installation permits the inspection ofall mechanical and electrical equipment from within the car, the contact for the access panelshould be made inoperative temporarily so that the car can be moved with the access panel open Start with the car at the top of the hoistway and move the car in the down direction in about two(2) foot increments, stopping to inspect all hoistway equipment at each location Included in themechanical and electrical equipment which should be inspected are: guide rails, guide rail
fastenings; screw column supports, mounting brackets and guides, traveling cable, etc

Trang 4The inspection should verify that all hoistway equipment is undamaged and functional and thatall fastenings are tight If the screw column is in tension, verify that the support fastenings at ornear the top of the hoistway are tight and there is no evidence of damage or distortion If thescrew column is in compression, verify that the support means at or near the bottom of thehoistway are intact and there is not evidence of damage or distortion Check screw columnguides or stabilizing supports to verify that they are intact and functional If the screw column ismade up of more than one section, special attention should be given to the joints to verify
that there is no indication of shifting or separation of the sections Utilize procedure previouslydescribed in this chapter for inspection of items common to screw column and traction elevators.observe extreme care when moving the car with the access panel open Be sure the contact onthe access panel is restored for normal operation and that the access panel is properly closed andlocked before leaving the car
2.9.3 Outside Of Hoistway Inspection
2.9.3.1 Control Equipment Control equipment may be located separate from the elevator Ifthis arrangement is used, then the equipment must be enclosed in a locked metal cabinet withaccess restricted Inspection procedures should be as previously described in this chapter
2.9.3.2 Manual Movement of a Stalled Car If the elevator is equipped with a device to permit aqualified person, from a position outside the elevator car, to manually move the car to a landing,check the operation as follows:
a Have the power-supply-line disconnecting means opened while the car is between landings
to simulate an unplanned power outage
b Operate the device manually and move the car to an adjacent landing
c Restore the device and the power-supply-line disconnecting means for manual operation.2.9.4 Top Of Car Inspection
2.9.4.1 Drive If the screw machine is located on, or accessible from, the top of the car, proceedwith the inspection in accordance with the procedures previously described in this section
2.9.4.2 Control Equipment Control equipment may be located on the car top Proceed with theinspection as previously described in this section

is equipped with a speed governor which is most accessible from the top of the car, inspect thegovernor in accordance with the applicable portions of Item 104.6 of the A17.2 Manual Inspectthe governor rope releasing carrier, if the elevator is so equipped, in accordance with the
applicable portions of Item 103.15 and the governor rope in accordance with the applicableportions of 103.4
2.9.5 Inspection Of Machine Rooms And Machinery Space
In some applications, the drive system, control equipment and/or speed governor are located in
a specific machine room or machinery space Inspection procedures for such an arrangementshall follow the steps previously described in Section 2.5 "OVERHEAD MACHINERY SPACEAND MACHINE ROOM INSPECTION" and, for general requirements relating to this type ofarrangement, as previously described for traction elevator
2.9.6 Periodic Inspections And Tests
The following inspections and tests should be made on a periodic basis
2.9.6.1 Annual Inspections and Tests
2.9.6.1.1 Terminal Stopping Devices See Division 116 of the A17.2 Manual for inspection andtest of normal terminal stopping devices Note that final terminal stopping devices are not
required on screw column elevators having a rated speed of less than 100 fpm Mechanical stepsare allowed Where final terminal stopping devices are provided, test by adjusting the
device with the car operating at leveling speed
2.9.6.1.2 Governor and Safety Test Where governors and safeties are provided on screwcolumn elevators, they should be tested as outlined in Divisions 111 and 112 of A17.2

3.1 INTRODUCTION
NOTE: Paragraphs identified with a vertical line in the left margin are inspections that should
be made by certified Vertical Transportation Equipment Inspectors only
3.1.1 Scope
The inspection procedure for hydraulic elevators included in this chapter is not only aninspection of all safety related functions, but is also an inspection to determine the condition ofthe equipment and identify areas that need improvement Proper maintenance is needed to keepthe elevator operating When preventive maintenance is lacking, shut downs will occur Part II
of the ANSI/ASME A17.2 Inspector's Manual for Elevators and Escalators addresses the safetyaspect of the inspection of hydraulic elevators In this chapter we will identify the specificDivision of Part II which relates directly to the inspection procedure being followed in thistext It is intended that each noted division should be reviewed as it is identified and suggestedprocedures followed The maintenance and performance considerations of the inspection will beaddressed in the following test See Figures 3-1 and 3-2, which show various elevator
arrangements with component names that will be used in this chapter
3.1.2 Performance Criteria
As was stated, the purpose of procedures as outlined in Section 2.1.2 are applicable
3.1.2.1 Elevator Speed (Hydraulic Elevators) Elevator operating speed is measured with atachometer while the elevator makes a full run through the hoistway with no load in the car With hydraulic elevators, it is necessary to make this reading from the top of the car by holdingthe tachometer on the guide rail The up direction operating speed should be maintained at alevel of plus or minus 5% of the rated speed (to be found on the cross head of the car) under anyload condition The down speed is much more difficult to obtain because the speed is directlyrelated to the weight in the car Usual adjustments are made such that contract speed is obtained
in the down direction with 50% load on the car The empty car down speed should be
maintainable at about 10% below contract speed and full load down speed should be
maintainable at about 10% above contract speed
