WARNINGS
Do not turn the mains power supply switch off.
Do not stand under the elevator when it is descending.
Do not stand on the trapdoor when the elevator is ascending.
Do not attempt to open the elevator door when the elevator
is in motion.
Do not allow children to use the elevator unsupervised.
Do not manually open or move the elevator during a fire as
this could result in abrupt spreading of the fire.
Do not exceed the recommended safe working load of
40 stone or 255kg.
Never attempt to exit the elevator if for any reason the elevator
should fail to reach a stop. Use the yellow alarm button, phone
or autodialler (if fitted) to gain assistance.
Never attempt to climb out of a moving or stationary elevator –
call for assistance, manually lower the elevator, and then manually
open elevator door before exiting.
Never attempt to exit the elevator should the safety gear trigger.
It is recommended you wait for an approved Service Engineer
who will safely assist you from the elevator.
Safety gear, if triggered, must be reset by an approved Service
Engineer ONLY. An approved Service Engineer in this context,
is a competent person with the necessary tools, instructions,
appropriate training and sufficient experience of the equipment.
Built for your specific needs and requirements, your new
elevator will provide you with many years trouble free use,
and this handbook indicates the main features and functions
for all users.

Drive systems, features and controls
Drive systems
Traction
An electric motor is located at the top of the tracks at the first floor
ceiling level, and is attached to the elevator with steel cables.
Hydraulic
A hydraulic cylinder is located centrally between the lower tracks,
with the pump unit located in a convenient position within 6m of
the elevator.
Elevator sizes and options
The Pollock Lifts Residential Elevator is available in a range of
sizes and configuration options.
Seating
Tip-up seat
The seat can be fixed directly to the back of the lift car.
It has a carrying capacity of 200kg or 31 stone.
The seat is designed so it can be tipped up to allow access for
a wheelchair.
All models with seats have a seatbelt fitted to secure the user in
position when the elevator is in motion. These operate in a similar
fashion to a car seatbelt.

Control panel
Located inside on the rear panel, or on the left or right side
rails of the elevator, the main control panel buttons perform
the following operations.
Open and close the door
The door button will release the lock mechanism when the lift is parked
at the upper or lower level, allowing the door to be opened manually.
The door will open and close automatically if a power door mechanism
has been fitted.

Travel downwards – latching button – press and hold until elevator moves.
Yellow button – activate the alarm
If specified, calls the first number on the autodialler.
Red button – stop the elevator at any time
Remote call station

powered removable call station allows the following operations
to be performed from outside the elevator.
Lock and unlock the door – open and close where power door
mechanism has been fitted.
Travel upwards – latching button – press and hold until elevator moves.
Travel downwards – latching button – press and hold until elevator moves.

Safety features
Door
The door has a fully secure interlock which is opened automatically
at the landing, or by the buttons outside the elevator, and again from
the control panel inside the elevator.
Upper sensitive edge
The upper sensitive surface fully covers the top of the elevator. This is
a safety measure to prevent trapping between the elevator and the
ceiling as the elevator ascends. Light pressure on the sensitive surface
will immediately stop the elevator, which can then move downwards
away from the obstruction.
Bottom tray
The bottom tray closes the ceiling aperture to create a fire seal when
the elevator is at the upper level. The bottom tray also acts as a sensitive
surface when the elevator is descending. Should an obstruction below
the elevator be encountered, the spring loaded tray will activate the safety
switches forcing the elevator to stop immediately. The elevator will then
only move upwards away from the obstruction.
Conversely, if an obstruction is detected as the elevator is ascending,
the separation switch will activate and stop in up direction. The elevator
will then only move downwards away from the obstruction.
Smart display
At Pollock Lifts we are leaders in the introduction of the innovative
service and fault finding control, through the use of our unique on board
LCD display (optional) which is located at the rear of the elevator.
This will allow the user to see the status of the elevator and can
be used for diagnostic checks and maintenance by the user and our
engineering product support team.

Move the lift from outside the elevator
Press and hold the blue up button or the green down button
on the remote call station until the lift begins to move.
Open the door from outside the elevator
Press the illuminated door button on the side of the elevator,
or on the call station. Either option unlocks the door allowing
it to be opened.
If a power door mechanism is fitted it will open automatically.
Enter the elevator
Hold on to the elevator’s rail if standing, or position yourself
comfortably on the elevator seat.
Close the door from inside the elevator
Pull the door closed, or if your elevator is fitted with a power door
mechanism, press the open and close door button on the control
panel in the elevator.
In both cases, when the door is closed the lock will engage.
Prepare to travel
If using the elevator seat please fit the seatbelt provided for extra
security. This operates in the same manner as a car seatbelt.

Autodialler operation
The autodialler is similar to a telephone, and is activated by pressing
the alarm button.
The autodialler will begin to call the pre-programmed contact numbers.
Wipe your elevator, and the elevator tracks using a damp
cloth with a little washing up liquid. The panels, glass, and
tracks should be cleaned once a fortnight.

Other features
Lock Lift
If the elevator needs to be made inoperable for a short
period of time the following procedure should be followed.
Traction model

button for 10 seconds. The display will show lift car locked.
To unlock, press and hold the blue up button for 10 seconds.
Hydraulic model

To unlock, press and hold the blue up button for 10 seconds.
Long-term shut off
If the elevator is to be rendered inoperable for longer periods of
time, please contact your service provider.
Periodic examination
Once installation is complete and the elevator has been
commissioned, the service counter will be set to ZERO and
the LCD display will inform you when your next service is
due if required earlier than at six monthly intervals.
If necessary, the Engineer may recommend more frequent
examinations to ensure continued safe and reliable operation.
Any recommended repairs will be noted, including a time scale
for completion.
Should a defect directly affecting safety which requires immediate
repair be reported, the elevator will have to be taken out of service.
Any maintenance or service should be recorded in the elevator’s
service log.
Periodic servicing
The elevator should be thoroughly serviced by a competent
person within six months of commissioning and thereafter at
intervals not exceeding six months.
NOTE!
Call outs and service visits may be combined to minimise
disruption. At each service any serious defects should be rectified,
and Engineering Test carried out and logged.
