MC2000 – Assembly Instruction Manual
Introduction
This assembly instruction manual shows you
how to erect Motala Hissar MC2000 with 2-6
landings and manual orautomatic doors.
The texts and the illustrations of the manual
show an MC2000 with 2 landings, but are also
valid for lifts with several landings. Note that the
manual also describes the assembly of equip-
ment that is not found in all lifts.
MC2000 can be delivered with straight or
adja-cent two-way entrances. For power
supply, see the current electrical diagram.
The assembly instructions are based on
equip-ment and tools that were accessible
when the manual was written. Because of
continuous product development we reserve
the right to al-terations without further notice.

Preparations before assembly
Use the layout drawing for erection site check
Check the lifting heights (FF-FF). Check that
the floors are completed, i.e. have the correct
height.
Use the plumblines to measure the openings of
the joists. Also check that the diagonal meas-
ures of the openings are equal.
Check that the erection space is at least 30 mm
above the maximum height of the lift.
Check the wall opening dimensions in front of
the door sections according to the layout draw-
ing.
Free space for doors
Check the space available for opening doors,
taking the inclination of the floors into consider-
ation. Are the doors hung correctly - right or
left?
Free space for the pit prop
Check the space available for the pit prop. See
the layout drawing.
Power supply
Check that there is power supply for the lift, the
illumination and the telephone. Compare with
the electrical diagram and the layout drawing.
Other facts
Go through and make sure what parts of the lift
are to be powder coated or just primed consid-
ering the framing of joists, walls etc. at the erec-
tion site. See the object description enclosed
with the delivery of the lift. Also check the plac-
ing of glass modules, if any.
Lift material
Check at arrival
Check the number of packages against the
consignment note and the equipment against
the packing list.
Check that nothing is damaged or missing.
Placing
Transport the material to the erection site and
place it on the appropriate floor. Use the
“checklist”. See example under the heading on
page 49. The door frames are marked on the
bottom side of the profile with an 0, I, II, III or IIII,
depending for which floor they are intended.
Lift well construction planning
• Where do glass module sections start and
end, if any? The first lift well module might
have to be adjusted so that the glass mod-
ules are at the right height above the correct
joists higher up in the lift well. See the lay-
out drawing.
• Where are the channels for lock wires and
cables? (These channels can be found in
adjacent lifts and in two-entrance lifts.)
Measurments
There is an example under the heading “Layout
drawing” on page 48. (The measurments in the
picture are taken from that example.)
Check that the pit:
• has the correct measurments
• is even and level
• is painted.

Introduction
General information on how to erect modules
Lift well modules
Glass modules
Construction of precision gauge blocks
This section contains general information on
how to construct so called precision gauge
blocks and how to erect lift well modules and
glass modules.
Generally, each module is assembled with four
screws in the corner profiles. The screws are
placed about 100 mm from the upper and lower
edges.
For a nicer look, the screws can be exchanged
by pop rivets (4 mm).

Glass modules are to be placed with the bevel-
led window moulding on the outside of the lift
well. (The flush side on the inside.)
The modules are generally put together so that
each module is fastened with four screws in the
corner profiles. You need to pre-drill 3,2mm.
The screws in the splice between two modules
are placed about 8 mm from the lower edge of
the upper module so that the screw also goes
through the male profile of the lower module.
mc200552

For glass modules, precision gauge blocks are
used at joist passages and in the pit so that the
glass surfaces are placed at the proper height
according to the layout drawing. Note that the
measurements in the layout drawing apply to
cutting measurements of the precision gauge
blocks. Example: see the heading “Layout
drawing” on page 48

1. Cut the lift well modules with a jigg saw.
Protect the surface with insulating tape or
something similar.
2. Remove the sharp edges.
3. Turn the U-profile with notch 1 towards the
outside of the lift well. Note that the top U-
profile looks different.
Finish (top clearance of lift well)
Use female section 2 of a lift well module.
Joist passage
Use female section 2 of a lift well module.
Pit
For glass modules, for example.
Use male section 4 of a lift well module.

1. Erect the broad corner profile on side C of
the lift well. Note that the broad profile must
be placed against side D.
2. Erect the thin corner profile.
3. Place a U-profile (35 mm) on the bottom
side, “female side”, at the bottom of the
lowest lift well module/glass module. The
notches (ends) of the U-profile should be
turned towards the outside of the lift well.
4. Place three lift well modules/glass modules
between the corner profiles. Turn the “male
side” upwards. The modules must not
reach the very bottom of the corner pro-
files. Leave a millimetre or two so that,
later, you will be able to align the whole
side C vertically.
5. Place a short dimension stick between the
corner profiles. Check that the base is
level.
6. If necessary, adjust with a metal shim un-
der the corner profiles. The shim must be
placed under the corner profile and the
module. Note! When plumbing, always
start at the “highest point” of the pit.
7. Fasten the modules in the corner profile by
attaching one screw at the top and one at
the bottom of each side about 100 mm
from the edges. Use a dimension stick.
(For placing of screws, see the heading
“General information on module assembly”
on page 7).
8. Align vertically by means of a long spirit-
level.
9. Fasten the modules and the corner profiles
with screws.

10. Place a U-profile (25 mm) under the lift well
module/glass module on side D. Turn the
notch of the U-profile towards the outside
of the lift well.
11. Place three lift well modules/glass modules
on side D. Turn the “male side” upwards.
The modules must not reach the very bot-
tom of the corner profiles. Leave a millime-
tre or two so that, later, you will be able to
align the whole side C vertically.
12. Fasten the modules in the corner profile by
fastening one screw at the top and one at
the bottom about 100 mm from the edges.
Note! The screw heads in the corner profile
of the driving side must be placed at least 6
mm from the corner profile to leave room
for the guide rail flange.
13. Align horizontally by means of a spirit-level.
14. If necessary, use metal shims.

In this example, the lift well side B has glass
modules. The first glass module must not be in
close contact with the pit but should be placed
a little higher up. For measurments, see the lay-
out drawing.
15. Using the male section of a lift well module,
construct a precision gauge block and
place it in close contact with the pit. See
the heading “Construction of precision
gauge blocks” on page 7.
16. Install the U-profile with the notch turned
towards the outside of the lift well.
17. Fit the precision gauge block.
18. Place a glass module on top of the preci-
sion gauge block. Turn the “male side” up-
wards and the level glass side towards the
lift well. Check with a spirit-level that the
upper edge of the glass module is horizon-
tal.
19. If necessary, adjust with a metal shim be-
tween the precision gauge block and the
pit.
20. Fasten the glass module with a screw in
the longitudinal bottom corner profile. See
the heading “Glass module” on page 7.
