Over Speed Governor

Description

Over Speed Governor is a mechanical braking device to stop the lift from an uncontrolled descent. This code signifies that it has been activated.

Solution

Find the hand-winding wheel (gray mushroom shaped object approx. 5" in diameter, generally left under the rail on one of the stair treads).

Check that no objects are caught or jammed on the underside of the carriage unit.

Pull out the red battery isolation plug to prevent the carriage from being operated.

Prise out the white disk on the carriage next to the red plug (a blunt knife or screwdriver may be required).

Place the hand-winding wheel into the hole and wind the carriage up the stairs (turn the wheel clockwise - do NOT turn anti-clockwise) maximum of ten turns until the digital display stops showing '3' and displays '1'.

Take the hand-winding wheel out of the hole and send the lift to the top of the rail and run it back down again just to check everything is ok.
