2 SPEED SLIDING DOORS
(See Also Installation Video)
Before beginning the installation, ensure that the rough opening is the correct size and that
there is adequate support for the entrance. The entrance must attach to masonry, wood studs
of sufficient size or heavy steel struts. Drywall and light steel studs are not sufficient support.
Also, the elevator must be assembled to a "working platform" stage which can be operated by
temporary buttons mounted on the car and wired into the pump controller. This gives the
installer full control over movement of the car platform and will assist the placement and
installation of the landing entrance.
NOTE
For the car and landing entrances to align, it is critical that the platform is properly positioned.
There are sufficient dimensions on the layout drawings provided, to allow the installer to
properly position the platform on the sling for final installation of the car and landing entrances.
NEVER INSTALL THE ELEVATOR CAR PRIOR TO
INSTALLING THE LANDING ENTRANCES!
IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO INSTALL THE ENTRANCES
WITH THE CAR ASSEMBLED.
Landing Door Assembly
To assemble the 2-speed landing doors, refer to Figure # 27 (unless indicated otherwise), and
proceed as follows:
1) Attach the sill support (Item # 7) to the inside flanges of the vertical struts (Item # 6). The
single hole on the vertical struts indicates the bottom or sill end of the assembly.
2) Line up the single holes on the flange with the holes on the sill support and insert 4 3/8"
bolts and lock washers, nuts to the inside. Do not tighten yet, just make them snug.
3) Place the header (Item # 5) between the struts. The long side of the header faces towards
the sill on the inside of the frame and bolts to the strut flanges using four 3/8" bolts and
lock washers. Again, just make the bolts snug.
4) Mount the aluminum sill (Item # 10) to the sill support. Insert four bolts into the slot on the
underside of the aluminum sill. Use the second slot from the sill edge to line up with the
prepared holes on the surface of the sill support. Note, the aluminum track must be
centered on the sill support.
5) Slide the sill up until its nearly flush with the sill support on the hoistway side. There
should be 1/8" (3 mm) overhang to accommodate the fascia plates, if used (not provided).
See Figure # 28 (masonry installations) or Figure # 29 (drywall installations).
6) Tighten all the sill bolts.
