a. Please read the instruction in detail before getting the escalator installed and
adjusted to ensure installing work to be well-finished and installing quality. Save this

instruction for future reference.

b. The installing instruction is only suited for installation and adjustment of
commercial escalators with ESP series
c. The installing instruction shows the installing process and method of each part, and
safety requirements for installation.

2. Installing preparation

2.1 How to establish team to install escalator

In general, the team is made up of 4-5 people to install an escalator. The persons
concerned in the team shall be experienced mechanics and electricians familiar with
escalator products (at least one mechanic and one electrical per escalator). The team
leader is in charge of managing installing personnel on site, of installing quality,
construction safety and the close coordination among on-site construction unit,
customer and supervisor parties, of writing down the record and relative documents
as required, and of supervising and inspecting the personnel who shall operate and
construct in accordance with the relative norm.

2.2 How to apply the construction procedure

According to national and local codes and regulations regarding the installation of the
escalator, after preparing relative data and information, you are kindly requested to
apply the construction procedure to local authority by which installation qualification
can be issued. The installation cannot be started until it is approved to do so. The user
concerned shall be contacted in advance to work out the best route and time to get the
installation started.

2.3 Quality inspection and installation change

a. Each installing procedure should be done through self inspection, mutual
inspection and quality control system confirmed by group leader and project manager.
The group leader is responsible for filling in quality record sheet of each procedure
timely. Submit it to quality management department for confirmation after the
working procedure is qualified. The customer representative/supervising engineer
must be invited to confirm and sign at relative quality record sheet before starting
building projects.
b. If there is technical change during installing, it should be done after getting
signature of company and customer for confirmation. If the change project involves
economic issues, go through the change procedure after the change project is finished.

2.4 Identification methods for escalator

2.4.1 Principle of identification

2.4.1.1 One-one correspondence: Every component has its exclusive position to be
installed in and subsequently get each of them fixed tightly.
2.4.1.2 The surface of the component and the packaging material for each component
shall be explicitly labeled respectively as exclusive identification which means two
labels on both internal and external surfaces shall be consistent with one another.
2.4.1.3 Differentiation of left from right structural components: standing at the
downside of the escalator and then look upwards, it shall be differentiated by the
center line of escalator.
2.4.2 Method of identification
2.4.2.1 The whole escalator
N = (1, 2, 3….) Getting each of them numbered by Contract Numbers
1#, 2#, 3#….. The whole escalator
2.4.2.2 The split escalator can be classified from upside to downside: N# (Upside),
N# (Middle) (the middle section is unavailable for the whole escalator which is split
into two sections.), N# (Downside). “Upside”, “Middle”, “Downside” separately
stand for the position of each of the split sections of the whole escalator; the non-split
escalator can not be classified like that.
NB the middle section in the escalator split into 3 sections is not only labeled with
N# (middle), but also the other two sections are labeled with N#(upside) N#
(downside) respectively, which indicates these two labeled sections shall be
connected with the middle section, to protect the middle section of the whole
escalator from reverse connection to the upside and downside sections of the whole.
The installation of the whole escalator shall be started only when the label on upside
and downside sections are carefully checked.
2.4.2.3 Junction plate at the split section shall also be labeled according to the rules of
2.4.2.3 Junction plate at the split section shall also be labeled according to the rules of
N# n. In addition, the same label shall be applied to the split truss which is
connected with the junction plate. Only after these labels on the junction plate have
been the same as the one on the truss can the installation be carried out.
2.4.2.4 There is no need to figure out which side is left, right, upside or downside for
the components concerned and instead of getting them identified straightforward with
the whole escalator label, e.g. (1#) GPPS0040D001 stands for pulley group of 1#
whole elevator which can not be classified into left and right or upside and downside.
2.4.2.5 The components required to be differentiated from one another with left and
right or upside and downside, shall be labeled with the escalator number plus left and
right (or upside and downside), e.g. ‘(1# left) DRPS0039D001 upper R handrail
bracket’ which indicates that this component is for upper left of 1# whole escalator,
and so on. The details of these components and parts can be seen in the packing list
provided.
2.4.2.6 Standard components and small parts for single unit shall be placed into self-
sealed plastic bag for the purpose of installing an escalator later on; after that, getting
the bag labeled with the code name of the components and parts, along with the
details of which components or parts shall be employed for which parts of the
escalator on site, and the components shall be put at the place of standard parts of the
whole escalator. e.g. the self-sealed plastic bag is labeled with (1#) EWPS0009D001
standard components (inner cover plate for standard section), as well as, GB/T819.1-
2000 bolt M4×8 stainless steel , which indicates the standard components in the
bag are employed for (1#) EWPS0009D001 (internal cover plate for standard
section), and so on.
2.4.2.7 Identification for glass interior panelling
The glass balustrade shall be classified into left and right and numbered with
-01 -02 -03…etc. and the form of numbering is as follows:
N# left-n
N# right-n
N stands for the whole escalator number, and n means glass (balustrade) number.
From lower of escalator to its upper, and the number is -01 -02 -03… respectively.
NB: this label is regarded as an additional label which is used for auxiliary purpose of
installing the glass balustrade. The glass itself has a label that has already been serial
numbered previously and pasted up in front of the additional label.

5.4.1 Nitty-gritty of how to be on the safe side

5.4.1.1 The personnel who install the escalator with crane and hoisting device shall be
qualified with safety operation permit issued and approved by relative governmental
authorities, and the operation of hoisting and moving with a crane shall conform to
the relative codes and regulations.
5.4.1.2 If something has come up unexpectedly during hoisting and moving, careful
analysis and appropriate solution to the problem are needed, and subsequently, the
operation can be carried out again.
5.4.1.3 The truss is regarded as main load bearing component of the escalator, and the
position on which the force is exerted while moving horizontally or vertically shall be
strictly defined. It is disallowed to get any force exerted on any positions beyond the
defined position in order to protect the escalator from deformation.
5.4.1.4 The surface shall be flat enough to move the truss horizontally; while hoisting
vertically, the length of the steel ropes at two hoisting positions as shown down below
shall be the same as one another in order to get the escalator hoisted gently and
smoothly.
5.4.1.5 The order of hoisting and transporting need to be paid great attention if
several escalators are installed in the same shaft and the installation shall be started
from the top floor.
5.4.1.6 Before the escalator is moved and hoisted, dismantle all of the components
installed on the truss which are packed and delivered by supplier, so that the
components will not be damaged during movement.
4.3.2 Process
Determine ―→ Determine ―→ Horizontal ―→ Lift truss
transport route lifting eye transport
5.4.3 Determine transport route
5.4.3.1 The escalator equipments are usually put in the simple storehouse at site.
Check whether the passageways are free from obstacles before equipment being
transported to site. Confirm clear height and width of building entrance the
equipments pass. The width should be no less than 2m, height should be no less than
3m.
5.4.3.2 Ensure there are no obstacles on transport route, the load capacity of ground
and temporary bearing plate meets the requirements. Reinforce them if necessary.
5.4.4 Determine the lifting eye: find out a fixed point near the installation position for
fixing hinge hoist. This lifting eye should have enough strength to endure horizontal
tensile forces. If there is no proper position, embed a temporary bracket near the
installation position as lifting eye.
5.4.5 Horizontal transport
Connect the escalator to lifting eye through more than one chain blocks in serial
outdoors.
Put crossties under escalator 100mm×100mm square timber, 4 pieces , put rollers
of diameter 80mm under the crossties. It can also use sets of rolling bars.
The lifting is operated by several persons smoothly.
The method indoors is similar to this, but the lifting eye cab be set in bearing beam..
5.4.5.1 Horizontal transport of the integral type escalator
5.4.5.2 The horizontal transport of upper and lower parts of the split type escalator
While getting the rear half part of the escalator truss moved as required, since the
centre of the gravity has been moved close to the lower end of the truss as shown
below in the picture at left hand side, therefore, according to on-site situation, the
split section can be fixed to the transporting board or put some weight blocks onto the
flat section of rear half part of the truss.

While getting the front half part of the escalator truss (including traction machine
installed inside) moved as required, crosstie shall be carefully put into the bottom of
the split truss exactly as shown below in the picture at right hand side to prevent the
joint pieces from deformation caused by external force.
 ※Where conditions are ripe, use forklift, crane and other machine tools.※
5.4.6 Truss hoisting

4.3.5.2 Truss assembling
1 It can be done on the ground
or in the mid-air, which depends on operating
condition at site. If it does in the mid-air, confirm
whether there is an impact phenomenon after
being hoisted.
2 Clear up joint faces of upper,
middle and lower parts of truss and make sure
there is no uneven phenomenon.
3 The joint of lower truss and
middle truss.
1 Install hoisting bracket (for end of escalator, 4 pieces for each
escalator) and hoisting beam. Steel wire rope penetrating diagram is as
follows:
 2 Confirm the signs of interface, and attach the steel wire rope to
the hoisting bracket and hoisting beam of lower truss and suspend it
from the lifting hook of hoisting device.
3 Confirm the signs of interface, and attach the steel wire rope to
the hoisting beams at two ends of middle truss and suspend it from the
lifting hook of hoisting device.
lifting hook of hoisting device.
4 Hoist the lower truss and install zip fastener hinged joint
between lower truss and middle truss, and use this hinged joint to make
joint faces of two trusses draw close slowly until they contact with each
other.

5 Use the hoisting device and zip fastener hinged joint to align
the hole of fastening bolt in truss joint face. Reinstall the joint plates
and high strength connecting bolts (16 joints for each) which have been
dismantled as segmented transporting, and make sure the signs on the
joint plates are the same with that of truss; insert after the alignment of
holes and install the bolts in turn in order to joint the truss, hammer the
head of bolt before lock-in, then tighten it up. It must use the bolts
attached to the equipment at this place, smaller bolts should not be
used.
 6 Install the middle connecting plate and inclined bracer, pay
attention to installing position.

(4)Joint for middle truss and upper truss

Confirm the middle truss after connecting with lower truss and the mark of the
joint with upper truss.
Fasten the steel wire rope at the lifting place of middle and upper truss, and hang
to the lifting hook of winding equipment.
3 For the upper lifting of winding equipment, see the following picture. Install the
zipper pin joint on the middle and upper truss, and make the jointing face of the
two trusses close up slowly until they touch by the zipper pin joint
 4 Repeat the , of item No.(3)
For the escalator without middle truss, refer to (4).
(5)Connect in the air after lifting
If the lifting condition is not fulfilled on site after finishing assembling completely,
lift the upper, middle and lower truss to the preset position. In that state, connect the
upper, middle and lower truss, and after connection put the truss at the supporting part
of the building.

5.4.6.3.Truss hoisting
1 Precautions
for hoisting
1. Before escalator hoisting, confirm the temporary arrangement space and do the
reinforcing treatment for the vulnerable position.
reinforcing treatment for the vulnerable position.
2. People are strictly prohibited to stand in hoisting work space.
3. Confirm the specification of suspension hook used by hoisting and the position and
weight capacity of spandrel girder. And make sure that the lifting weight of each
suspension centre is more than 5t.
4. Penetrate two pieces of flitch of 100mm×100mm×500mm into the lifting cable
sleeve on the floor plate to avoid the wearing of lifting rope during the hoisting.
2 The following two pictures is
the universal installation method under the
circumstance of floor cover plate and fixed
suspension point. It is permitted to hoist the
escalator by other methods such as self-made
gallows frame, tower crane and auto crane etc.
1 Top-down hoisting

2 Down-top hoisting

4.3.5.4 Putting
in position and adjustment
1 Align the upper and lower heads of truss to the above-
mentioned central line of escalator position, and ensure that the deviation
is within 1mm. When there are several units of escalator on upper and
lower parts, the central line should be adjusted to a vertical plane, the
deviation <5mm.
deviation <5mm.
2 The maximum distance between nosing used for placing
equipment and elevation of truss supporting angle steel is 50mm the
total gap between the upper and lower parts <100mm.
3 Put the upper and lower heads of truss on the embedded
supporting steel plate of spandrel girder.

4 Adjust the upper surface position of truss supporting angle

steel by the supporting bolt of each end, and make sure that subsequent
entrance floor levels horizon line
5 Lay the level instrument on the truss supporting angle steel
and step, adjust it by supporting bolt and make sure that the horizontal
degree of step width direction is 1/1000.
6 There are two or several units of elevator in parallel, the front
section of entrance floor supporting angle steel is required to be on the
same straight line(measure by rectangle ruler), and the unevenness degree
should be less than 2mm the gap of width direction should be even and
the width evenness of several gaps should also be considered.
7 The position of lengthwise shall be kept consistent one
another while 2 or more escalators are required to be installed on site, the
top escalators should be regarded as a reference, after the plummet has
been drawn out from the center point of supporting angle steel (see the
following picture), getting the rest of the escalators measured in order to
get the entrance-exit position be consistent with one escalator to another.
 8 In the case of several escalators are installed on the same
floor, and the surface of front edge pedals shall be kept in the same plane.
The surface of the front edge pedals installed at different escalators shall
be measured correctly by taking the ground elevation as the uniform
standard height.
9 Horizontal adjustment (as shown in the following picture):
based upon ensuring the whole escalator is the same as the height of the
ground that has already been decorated, lay the level instrument on the
step, and make the horizontal error be no more than 1/1000 by adjusting
the supporting bolt.
5.5 Setting centerline of placement

Central line of work is the central benchmark for the installation of the whole
escalator, and it is the installation reference for the step guide rail, handrail glass and
skirt panel and so on. We can make the installation bracket of central line by
ourselves, one at the upper and lower terminal respectively. The central line should be
based upon the main drive center and lower tension frame.

5.6 Guide rail joint at partition place

Note Make sure that the guide rail at the split section has been connected, and
then do the following operations. Please see the item No. 8 for detail.
4.5.1 Nitty-gritty of how to be on the safe side
1 Safety spectacles shall be
worn properly to carry out polishing work.
2 Protection device shall be

5.8 Electric installation

5.8.1 Electric wiring

5.8.1.1 Inspection of electric wiring
Before all the wiring work, check the electric wiring according to electric drawing to
see whether there is short circuit, broken circuit, grounding etc at the electric circuit
to avoid overlap joint and breakage of electric wiring resulted from the transportation
and installation process, and then avoid serious problem while power-on. When there
is no abnormality for the wiring, conduct the next wiring and power-on.
5.8.1.2 Connection of drive line inlet wire
First of all, measure the voltage of three phase five lines provided for the escalator on
site by universal meter to see whether it complies with the requirements of service
voltage of escalator (Domestic power supply is 380V, voltage variation does not
exceed ±7%, while those in foreign areas are based on the local standard.), and inspect
the electrical supply equipment to see whether it can meet the requirements of
escalator power (for example, whether the circuit breaker meets the motor starting
characteristic and maximum current complies with the maximum current of
escalator). If they all can meet the requirements, connect the drive three phase five
lines with drive wiring terminal in control cabinet. The soft cable with suitable
sectional area of conductor should be selected as drive cable according to escalator
power. And they shall connect with five terminals of A, B, C, N, PE in control cabinet
after connecting O shape cold-pressing terminal. The three phase power supply on
site should connect with three terminals of A, B, C, and the neutral line on site shall
connect with terminal N, the grounding line should connect with PE terminal. After
connecting firmly and no short circuit, make the power on and see whether the wrong
state appears on the phase sequence relay. If the wrong state appears, cut off the
power supply and then exchange two pieces of drive line on A and B. and make the
power on once again to see the wrong state will not appear on the phase sequence
relay. Ensure that they should be connected firmly, no virtual connection and short
circuit after wiring. Check whether the three phase power supply complies with the
requirements of service voltage of escalator by universal meter.
The water proof clamping head should be adopted on the place that the drive line of
outdoor type escalator goes into the control cabinet. Tighten the water proof clamping
head and seal after finishing wiring.
5.8.1.3 Connection of control cable at the split section
Connect cable at the split section of escalator by inserter according to wire No. and
core number of cable. After the connection, inspect whether connection is firm and
reliable, wire No. corresponds one by one, and then put the cable into the wire duct.
After the connection of outdoor type cable and normal running, it needs to cut off the
power and do waterproof treatment. The waterproof treatment uses the self-adhesive
waterproof tape and black insulated tape. First of all, use the self-adhesive waterproof
tape, prolong the tape to 1.2-1.4 times that of original and wrap the wiring place until
it covers 10mm of cable outer layer, wrap 2-3layers overall to ensure the tightness.
And then use the black insulated tape to wrap 2-3layers of outer layer again to ensure
the insulativity.
5.8.1.4 Connection of heating cable at the split section
Connect the heating cable at the split section by CEE connection inserter, and then
tighten the inserter to ensure firm sealing. After that, check whether the wiring is
reliable by universal meter and inspect whether the heating tube works normally after
power-on. Control the starting of heating tube by adjusting the temperature controller.
For the adjustment of temperature controller, please see Usage and maintenance
instruction.
Note Recover to the previous setting of temperature controller after inspection.
5.8.1.5 Connection of other parts’ inserter
Connect the switch at the entrance and exit by inserter. After installing at the entrance
and exit, connect the inserter and inspect whether the wiring is reliable by universal
meter.
After connecting the handrail heating cable according to the wiring No., and then
wrap them by self-adhesive waterproof tape and black insulated tape. The method is
the same to that of 8.1.3-wrapping method for outdoor type cable.
5.8.1.6 Connection of fire fighting alarm
Fire signal shall be provided by party A, it shall be the two nodal points signal
without voltage. The fire signal provided by party A connects with corresponding
terminals in control cabinet by cable. (For the detailed wiring No., see the schematic
diagram).
5.8.2 Installation of photo-electric switch
5.8.2.1 Installation and adjustment of diffuse reflection photo-electric switch
If the photo-electric switch and front interior panelling are delivered to the site as a
whole, connect the separated photo-electric line firmly at site according to the line
number.
If the photo-electric switch and front interior panelling are delivered to the site
separately, install the photo-electric switch back to the mounting base of front interior
panelling at site. Place the transmission unit (TXTP5) on upper side and the receiving
unit (RXTP5) on lower side. Front terminals of both the transmitter and receiver
should be flush with the exterior surface of interior panelling to guarantee the light
would not be sheltered by interior panelling.
5.8.2.2 Correlation switch
If the wire of correlation photo-electric switch is cut off, connect the wire at site
according to the wire number.
The transmitter and receiver of correlation photo-electric switch respectively adopt
two-core and three-core wires.
5.8.3 Installation of wire duct
The wire duct should be installed at the middle section of escalator. Some wire ducts
has been already fixed, but some need to be installed on site. Fix the wire ducts on the
installation frame by self-tapping bolts attached with escalator. Please ensure firm
installation and no seam at the joint place.

5.13.2 Inspection of safety device of comb plate: as detailed in the drawing below
When a horizontal force of 600N is applied to the direction as shown by the arrow in
the scheme, front tread shall be moved flexibly to trigger the switch concerned. If it is
unavailable to meet the above-mentioned requirement, there will be some adjustment
to the tread and clean sundries between the motion surfaces until the required demand
can be fully satisfied in a technical manner.
5.14 Run escalator and check it repeatedly

5.14.1 The guideway of step shall be cleaned up to get rid of any dirty stuff on the
step and interior of escalator. Connect the power, and do well in the preparation work
ahead of operation.
5.14.2 Gap between step roller and compress guide (small C type material) in
working section shall be strictly inspected, and its gap value shall be kept within 1-1.5
mm(as shown in the scheme below). Due to the vibration in the process of
transportation, the value shall be changed accordingly. When the gap is too narrow or
none existent, the whole body concerned will be vibrant rigorously with high noise
levels; if the gap is so wide that the tread will sway along the axis of sub-wheel;
therefore, the gap value at upward section in full length shall be determined to make
sure the requirement on adjustment is perfectly satisfied.

5.14.3 The inspection switch is used for operation. While the escalator is running
upwards and downwards, the gap at single side between the side of step and skirt
panel shall be no greater than 4mm and also the sum of gaps at both sides is no
greater than 7mm.(above drawing)
5.14.4 Inspection of avoiding handrail belt from heating and wearing (following
drawing)
5.14.4.1 While the escalator is running, check if handrail is running with step
synchronously. The speed of handrail belt should be 0% to +2% faster than that of
step in normal state;
5.14.4.2 When the escalator is running upwards, a force of 35 Kilogram is exerted on
the lower side of handrail; if the handrail can not be run normally and continuously;
5.14.4.3 A force of 35 kilogram is exerted on the upper revolving position of
handrail; handrail belt should move 5-10mm;
5.14.4.4 After the escalator is running upwards for 3 circles, the sag of the handrail
between two adjacent rollers shall be measured. The sag should be kept within 5-
10mm in value;
5.14.4.5 View whether there is the gap among handrail and guide rail of each part (or
bracket) and among end pulley groups (See following drawing).
5.14.4.6 If any item of requirements isn’t needed in above 4 items, each pulley group
and pressing device shall be adjusted according to corresponding items in item 9.9
and 9.10. Repeat the operation until requirements can be met.

5.14.5 Operate with inspection switch and the escalator runs upwards and
downwards, and also makes sure that no abnormal sound can be heard around. If this
is the case, the tension of the step at both sides, the compression of lower tension
spring at both sides shall be strictly inspected, as well as, check if the cross section of
guide rail and joints of each guide rail are smoothened; otherwise, the subsequent
adjustment shall be implemented upon the right reason found for that until the
requirement concerned can be fully satisfied (See following drawing).
5.14.6 With the operation of inspection switch, the escalator is running upwards and
downwards, and checks if the tread can be collided with comb plate. If this is the
case, comb plate should be adjusted by hexagon socket bolt (as shown in the scheme
below).The side gap between the teeth of the comb plate and step pedal shall be
ensured to be over 1mm; the stud on the sliding guide of the comb plate shall be used
to adjust the height of the comb plate, and the depth of engagement between comb
plate and step pedal shall be no less than 4mm.
