Wear leather gloves to prevent injury from broken
wires. Remove any lint or dirt from the governor rope
with a heavy cloth rag.
8.6.4.2.2: Do NOT lubricate the governor rope. If
lubrication has been applied, the ropes must be
cleaned or replaced, and then the governor and safety

• On KONE traction elevators with slide guides installed use KONE guide rail lubricant ISO 320
(part # US53940001) or an equivalent. It is important that you use a lubricant that contains no
extreme pressure additives. These additives can adversely affect the performance of the
safeties.
• On KONE hydraulic elevators with slide guides containing nylon inserts use NyLube lubricant
(part # US506911002).
• Check the oil level in the guide rail lubricators, if provided. Add oil, if necessary.
8.6.4.3.3: If rail lubricants other than those recommended by the manufacturer are used, a safety
test must be performed to demonstrate that the safety functions as required.

similar coatings to the face of the guide rails, unless recommended by the manufacturer.
8.6.4.7: Cleaning of Hoistways and Pits

8.6.4.7.1:
Hoistway: Ensure the hoistway is clean. Dirt, lint and
excess oil in the hoistway, particularly on the rails and

The bottom and sides of the car should be free of lint
and oil.
Notify a supervisor if a full hoistway
