Manual, which can be viewed in DDMS system.

1.1 General

⚫ The responsibility for safety in the workplace rests with each employee, who is obligated to
take care of his own safety and health as well as other colleagues who could be affected by
his actions or omissions during work. Responsibility also includes conscious execution of
work and handling of the working media and substances observing the relevant information
signs.

⚫ Each employee is entitled to submit suggestions to the employer regarding safety and health
protection.

⚫ Order and cleanliness at the workplace will help prevent accidents and injuries. Waste is to be
disposed of properly (trash, oil, dust and dirt). Ask the responsible person in your working area
for information on how to dispose of waste properly.

⚫ Refrain from willful actions that endanger yourself or others (e.g. throwing objects).

⚫ It is strictly prohibited to be under the influence of alcohol or other drugs while working.

⚫ In case of injuries due to accidents, report the incident to your supervisor immediately. In case
of emergency call, provide the following information: location, what happened, how many
persons are injured, what kind of injuries, etc.

⚫ When working with machinery, observe the operating instructions. Use or work on the
equipment only when you are familiar with its proper operation and take the necessary
precautions.

⚫ Only electricians and appropriately trained personnel are allowed to repair defective electrical
components and equipment.

⚫ Pay attention to uneven areas on the site since they constitute a stumbling hazard. Electrical
connection cables, hoses, and the like are to be coiled up and removed immediately or as soon
as work is finished.

⚫ Get acquainted with first-aid personnel, safety inspectors, and all safety rules and regulations
on the job site.

⚫ In order to avoid mutual hazards, a coordinator should coordinate work with the appropriate
job site authorities. In the case of non-observance of regulations for the prevention of
accidents and hazards, work must be suspended.

8 Safety precautions

1.2 Personal Safety

⚫ In general wear personal protection equipment such as safety shoes and gloves. Use
additional safety protection as required by the work performed and the surrounding
environment.

⚫ Wear safety shoes with leather uppers, steel toe, and oil resistant rubber soles. Shoes should
be laced properly at all times. Shoes should be of good quality and conform to local safety
codes in your area.

⚫ Wear gloves when removing or repairing internal parts of the moving walk. Many parts have
sharp edges which can cause a hand injury. Use gloves when handling large and heavy
components of the moving walk to improve your grip and to prevent a hand injury.

⚫ Wear appropriate clothing to prevent occupational accidents. Loose fitting clothing can
become caught in moving machinery, causing a serious accident and injury.

⚫ Jewelry, such as finger rings, necklaces, earrings, watches or similar objects may not be worn
during work.

⚫ For employees with long hair, the hair should be gathered and banded tightly while
performing maintenance work to avoid entangling in moving machinery parts or tools (such
as drills or lathes).

⚫ Wear appropriate eye protection (e.g. safety glasses, safety goggles, face shield, or welding
shield) during grinding or welding operations to avoid injury from flying debris or sparks. Also,
nearby colleagues must wear eye protection to avoid injuries caused by your work.

⚫ Wear hearing protection in areas where there is a high noise level.

1.3 Danger of falling

⚫ When working at high levels on scaffolding or ladders, pay attention that no material or tools
can accidentally fall on employees working beneath or next to them.

⚫ When working on roofs, provide protection equipment to prevent falling and protect openings.

⚫ Never leave tools and material on scaffoldings or ladders. Danger of accident.

⚫ Use only proper scaffolding and ladders, make sure they are stable and in perfect working
condition.

⚫ When performing work entailing danger of falling, a safety harness or equivalent safety
equipment is to be used.

⚫ Make sure that when stacking parts and containers that they are stable.

3.3 Hoist/Set Unit in Place

If the unit was assembled in an offsite location, transport the unit to the site on a flatbed. The unit
will then either be hoisted directly off the truck, through the roof and into the recess or will have to
be moved through the building next to the wellway and then hoisted into place. All hoisting should
be done using four 25mm shackles and four 19mm wire rope slings through the hoisting eyes at each
end of the unit.

CAUTION: The left side of the unit at the upper landing will has additional weight due to the
motor. Using only one sling between the hoisting eyes will result in an offset load causing the unit to
twist/roll.

46 Hoisting of unit

CAUTION: during hoisting, the wire rope must hoist the hoisting eyes instead of other locations;
otherwise, it may cause severe damage to the truss.

If the unit cannot be hoisted into place through the roof, position the unit next to the well way. Use a
fork truck at the lower end and a hoist/crane at the upper end to set the unit in place. All hoisting
should be done using four 25mm shackles and four 19mm wire rope slings through the hoisting eyes
at each end of the unit.

ATTENTION: Before final positioning of the unit, the exact location of the supporting
angle/damping block may require minor adjustments to ensure that the leveling bolts are sat at the
central area.

For parallel units, check position requirements of supporting bracket for floor plate after hoisting:

➢ For 0mm distance between two units:

1. The before-after-tolerance for supporting brackets of two units should be within 3mm, height
difference should be ≤3mm and the tolerance of gap between supporting brackets at joint-side
should be ≤2mm.
2. The before-after-tolerance for fixed comb plates of two units should be within 2mm and height
difference should be within 2mm.

➢ For 1~1000mm distance between two units:

The before-after-tolerance for supporting brackets of two units should be within 5mm, height
difference should be ≤5mm and the tolerance of gap between supporting brackets at parallel-unit-
side should be ≤5mm.

1. Loosen the counter nuts M36 on the set screws and spin them all the way up.

2. For sinking the supports, loosen the nuts M10 with the threaded rod step-by-step (anti-
clockwise), while fastening the set-screws M36 simultaneously (clockwise). The supports must
not fall down; they can't be recovered!

3. The supports are fully sunken, when the moving walk begins to rise by turning the set screws
M36 .The fixing-screws have to be lose now.

4. By turning the set screws M36, the moving walk must be adjusted horizontally.

5. With more than one intermediate support, adjustments have repercussions on each other.
Therefore, step by step, always converge the intermediate support furthest away from its set value
to it and keep adapting the other intermediate supports. Tighten the left hand and right hand
adjustment screws alternatively in small steps by means of a torque wrench till the required torque
values, as stated on the installation drawing, are reached for each screw.

6. Afterwards the counter nuts M36 must be fastened and the threaded rod be removed.

Begin to install the middle straight glass sections or upper/lower curve glass. Ensure an approx.
2mm gap is kept between adjacent glasses. A folded paper gasket with 2mm thick works well to set
this clearance.

The glass should be plumb and flush with the adjoining


glass section. To plumb, simply tap the shim pack under the
profile bracket in the direction opposite to the way the glass
needs to move.

All glass joints must be flush (plumb) and have consistent


glass separation gaps of 2-3 mm along the whole unit; two
adjacent glass edge misalignment should be within 1mm
and glass vertical misalignment is within 2mm.

Note: Each piece of glass should be marked and the


designation appears at the top corner. Marking at the

Inspect and Adjust Skirts

Although the skirt/pallet gap was set while the unit was in the factory, some adjustment may be
required after the unit is hoisted into position. Until the unit is at 30 degrees, there will be some slack
in the pallet chain which will allow the pallets to be to one side or the other (this will be minimal).
Once the unit is set at 30 degrees the tension carriage will remove this slack. Using a tapered gauge,
inspect the gap between the pallets and the skirt to verify it meets the factory requirement for
moving walks. The clearance (gap) between the pallet and skirt shall be between 0mm< gap≤4 mm
at either side, or 7 mm for the sum of clearances measured at both sides at two directly opposite
points. If necessary, adjust the skirt to comply with the requirement.

switches per moving walk) or in the transition curve areas and in the middle of the moving walk
(quantity of switches according to the length of moving walk).

Pre-travel 1.5mm
Pre-travel 1.5mm

The Skirt Switch is located on both sides of the unit at each end and is designed to interrupt power
if the gap between the pallet and skirt is increased due to the skirt being deflected. To adjust, first
ensure the washers in illustration A are properly oriented to achieve a “spring”. They should be
oriented concave to concave and convex to convex. Once verified set the width of the washer stack
to 9 mm and set the pre-travel distance between the switch and the set screw to 1.5mm. Also check
the location of the switch to ensure it is no less than the full load stopping distance from the comb.
This should be the location at which the pallet assumes the flat position.

Inspection:

1. Use Multimeter to check wire diagram to ensure all wirings are in correct connection;
2. Remove interior decking, insert 0.5mm taperd gauge between skirt switch and skirt to
activate skirt switch and simulate a fault.
3. Check whether the fault message and fault code (if there is diagnostic function) is detected
in control system. Before reset, use the maintenance control unit to start the moving walk
and the moving walk must not be started.
4. Reset the safety switch and ensure the safety switch is pre-travelled by 1.5mm, the fault
message is disappeared in control system.
5. Use the maintenance control unit and start the moving walk, the moving walk can be
started.

CAUTION! If a foreign object including human body is caught in the gap between pallets and
skirt panels and the moving walk cannot brake in time, it may cause casualties or damage to
equipment.

Preparation: Use the maintenance control unit to position the 4 pallet gap in the pallet band to a
position just above the lower transition curve (or in the case of a horizontal moving walk, position the
gap in the pallet band about 2 meters from the combs at the tension station end). Run the moving
walk in upward and downward directions (or towards the drive station end) when positioning open
gap in the pallet band. This will ensure the maximum amount of sag is in the bottom part of the
handrail before making necessary measurements.

Inspection: For Structure 1, inspect the handrail sag at the middle straight section between 2 of the
guide rollers supporting the handrail; for Structure 2, remove the handrail from the middle handrail
guide block first and the handrail sags naturally. Then, measure the distance from the bracket on
truss to the handrail at position 1 and also at position 2 or 3 shown in the illustration. Subtract the
measurement at position 1 from the measurement at position 2 or 3. The result is the amount of sag
in the handrail and it should be between 25mm and 45 mm. If the sag is much more or less than this
amount, the handrail sag should be adjusted.

Adjustment: If the amount of sag in the handrail needs adjustment, following procedures should be
used to make proper adjustments.

Step 1: Move the gap in the pallet band to the upper transition curve just behind the handrail drive
shaft. The position the handrail slack adjuster relative to the handrail drive wheel is shown in the
below photo.

Step 1: Install round disc for magnetic strip, ensure its surface is dry and no dirt, grease or other
contaminations left.

Step 2: Apply a thin layer of glue evenly on magnetic strip surface (surface without middle grooved
line) with glue gun.

Step 3: Paste magnetic strip naturally along the edge of round disc on the main shaft, ensure the
joint clearance between the two connected ends is ≤0.5mm and the two ends cannot overlap.

Attention: if the joint clearance is >0.5mm, please do not stretch the magnetic strip; if the two
connected ends overlap each other, please do not cut the strip, contact TKE Customer Service Center
for technical support.

Joint clearance
between two
connected
ends ≤0.5mm

Step 4: Remove the excessive glue from round disc and keep magnetic strip dry and clean.

Step 5: Use adhesive tape to fix beginning and bottom ends tightly to ensure the clearance
(≤0.5mm) unchanged and the ends will not warp.

Step 6: Install speed sensor, ensure the vertical distance (X) between sensor induction surface and
magnetic strip surface is 1 ±0.5mm; the installation surface of speed sensor and its lead-out
cables should be parallel to magnetic strip, the distance (Y) between middle line of sensor
induction surface and the middle line of magnetic strip is less than 3mm.

Step 7: The cables of magnetic strip sensor are connected to the terminals on control box, and
shielding cable of the sensor should be connected to the PE terminal.

Step 8: Before commission, remove the adhesive tape gently from magnetic strip and ensure the
magnetic strip is not off from the round disc.

Note: The main switch should be turned to OFF before any operations on moving walk.

Attentions:

1. Magnetic strip is installed before step band installation.


2. Glue and glue gun can be used repeatedly.
3. The adhesive tape on the magnetic strip should be kept on until the glue is hardened. As the
glue takes at least 4 hours for hardening, so it is recommended to remove the adhesive tape
4 hours after installation at room temperature.
4. Replace magnetic strip if it is flattened or damaged during installation.

If the magenetic strip is installed at facotry:


1. Clean the magnetic strip at jobsite after the whole unit is installed. Use soft brush to clean
magnetic strip to remove dust, sand or iron scraps. Don’t use hard or iron tool to scrape magnetic
strip to avoid strip damage.
2. Check above installation requirements after cleaning.

Inspect Floor Plate Contacts

Floor plate contacts prevent unit operation when the reversing station covers are open. Test if the
moving walk can be operated when the floor plate is removed. The switch will need to be overridden
to operate the moving walk normally during maintenance steps.

1) For ECT controller:

The minimum clearance required between safety switch and pressure plate is 1mm after floor plate
covered. When removing the floor plate, the pressure plate should press the probe of safety switch
completely.

2) For GEC controller:

To check the floor plate contact, proceed as follows:


1. Remove the floor plate at lower landing.
2. Start the unit in one direction in normal mode using the key switch.
➢ The unit must not start.

CAUTION! If the floor plate is not replaced properly but the moving walk is put into operation,
it may cause severe injury to passengers.
