8 3. OPERATION Operating from the COP Controls Figure 2 shows the ES-125 car operating panel (COP). Note that the controls on your unit may differ from those shown here. Figure 2 To operate the ES-125 from the COP controls: 1 Insert the key into the key switch and turn it to the ON position to activate the operating buttons. 2 Apply constant pressure on the UP/DOWN switch (as required) to move the platform to the desired landing. 3 When the lift reaches the landing, release the UP/DOWN switch. 4 To prevent unauthorized use of the lift, take the key out when the unit is not in operation. 5 Pressing the Emergency Stop button (optional) during travel will stop the lift immediately. The Emergency Stop overrides the landing station controls. Pull the Emergency Stop out to return the lift to normal operation.
9 Operating from the Landing Station Controls Figure 3 shows the landing station (hall call) controls. Note that your landing station controls may differ from those shown here. Figure 3 To operate the ES-125 from the landing (call/send) station controls: 1 Insert the key into the key switch and turn it to the ON position to activate the operating buttons. 2 Apply constant pressure on the appropriate button to call the platform to the desired landing. 3 When the lift reaches the landing, release the switch. 4 To prevent unauthorized use of the lift, take the key out when the unit is not in operation. 5 Pressing the Emergency Stop button (optional) during travel will stop the lift immediately. The Emergency Stop overrides the landing station controls. Pull the Emergency Stop out to return the lift to normal operation.
10 4. SAFETY FEATURES Underpan Sensors (Optional) The underpan sensors (if equipped) are located under the platform. These sensors detect any obstacles and stop the platform if something obstructs it. Flap Sensitive Switches (Optional) The flap sensitive switches (if equipped) are located under the platform. These switches detect any obstacles and stop the platform if something obstructs it. Arm Position Switches (Optional) The arm position switches (if equipped) are located at the inside ends of the arms. These switches stop the platform if the arms are in an intermediate position (any position other than horizontal or vertical). Seat Position Switch (Optional) The seat position switch (if equipped) is located under the seat. This switch ensures that the power-fold platform does not fold up when the seat is down. Platform Position Switch (Optional) The platform position switches are located on the lower part of the frame. These switches prevent the platform from moving unless it is entirely folded or unfolded. Emergency Stop Buttons (Optional) Pressing a red Emergency Stop button during travel will stop the lift immediately and activate the alarm. The Emergency Stop overrides the landing (call/send) stations. Pull the Emergency Stop out to return the lift to normal operation.
11 Manual Lowering Device In case of an emergency, you can lower the platform manually using the manual lowering device. NOTE The manual lowering mechanism is for emergency use only. ES-125 (unit pulled by a steel cable, residential model) The residential ES-125 does not come standard with the manual lowering device; the crank must be ordered separately if you want this feature. The device functions the same as for the public unit described below. ES-125 P (unit pulled by a steel cable, public model) In an emergency, you can move the ES-125 P manually with a crank. See Figure 4. Insert the crank and turn it to move the unit toward the desired position at the landing. Always be sure to remove the crank when you re done. ES-125 Plus (chain-driven unit) In an emergency, you can move the ES-125 Plus manually with the plastic wheel located at the top of the motor in the cabinet. See Figure 5. Release the brake lever by lifting it and then turn the wheel to move the unit toward the desired position at the landing. Figure 4 Figure 5
12 5. MAINTENANCE NOTE The owner can perform the 2-month inspections, but the 6-month inspections must be performed by a Qualified Technician. Contact your Authorized Dealer. Maintenance Schedule Verification by owner Verify general operation of the lift. Verify correct operation of the safety devices: Underpan sensor switches (optional) Flap sensitive switches (optional) Emergency stop buttons (optional) Platform position switch (folded/unfolded) Arm position switches (optional) Seat position switch (optional) Clean bus lines (if equipped) with grit #400 sandpaper. Verification by technician ONLY Verify the entire suspension system: Chain or steel cable Steel cable on brake assembly Connecting links or cable clips Fastening of motor and deflecting pulleys (optional) Perform a safety brake test. Verify the following: Rail anchors (to wall) Slack cable switch (test) Final limit switches Rollers (lubricate if noisy) Up and down relays (make sure the relays are not stuck in the activated position by reading continuity through a normally open (N.O.) contact) Frequency Every 2 months Every 2 months Every 2 months Frequency Every 6 months Every 6 months Every 6 months

14 Operator Troubleshooting The following table lists potential problems and their possible solutions. If the problem persists, contact your Authorized Dealer. Potential Problem Platform travels up but not down Platform travels down but not up Platform does not move in either direction Platform does not fold or unfold (power-fold option only) Platform moves intermittently Possible Solution Check the underpan sensor. Pull down on the underpan to ensure the pan is not stuck in the activated position. Check the flap on the lower part of the lift. Move it to ensure the switch (if equipped) is not stuck in the activated position. Check the flap on the upper part of the lift. Move it to ensure the switch (if equipped) is not stuck in the activated position. Check the power supply (breaker, cord, etc.). Check that the key is ON (if applicable). Check to see if the Emergency Stop is pushed in; it should be pulled out for normal operation. If the platform is at the top landing, check the underpan sensor and the flap on the lower part of the lift as described above. If the platform is at the bottom landing, check the flap on the upper part of the lift as explained above. Check that the arms are not in an intermediate position. They should be in a horizontal or vertical position. Check that the lift is stopped at one of the landings. Check that the seat is folded up. Check to see if the bus lines (if equipped) are dirty. If necessary, clean with grit #400 sandpaper.
