1. Handrail Examination
1.1 Examine dust and damnification on Entry Box.
1.2 When ES is running, examine temperature of handrail with hand or laser
thermometer.
1.3 Affirm the seclusion state of bottom bibcock[Refer to Handrail testing manual]
1.4 Affirm if handrail can move15~20mm, when pull emphatically in the level of top
bibcock.
1.5 Affirm if handrail of Terminal HR Frame is running aslant.

1.6 In design ,the speed of handrail is faster than Step about 1.0%，but because of

circulate resistance, the speed of handrail is faster than Step about 0.5%. If the

speed is slower than that, should examine the following items.

-Examine if Chain Roller was adjusted rightly

- If the outer diameter of handrail driving pulley is too small? (Φ457)

Abrasion limit：When outer diameter is smaller than Φ453, should change it .

- If the isolation state of roller that use for isolating Handrail is appropriate?
1.7 If handrail is normal, if surface of guide pulley is attrited?

When HR Driving Chain has exceptional Knocking, should examine the

following items.
- If Handrail Driving Chain (#60-2) is too loose?
- If each chain elongate unconventionally, if Chain Roller is frayed?
- If the oiling state is well?

- If the joggle state of each chain is smooth，when flank of sprocket is pressed,

examine the plane degree of chain wheel.
- If handrail endothelium is frayed unconventionally?
