Assembly Of The Rope Of The Overspeed Governor/Tension Weight With Counterweight - PFB R1 Manual De Uso Y Mantenimiento

2.2 ASSEMBLY OF THE ROPE OF THE OVERSPEED GOVERNOR/TENSION WEIGHT
WITH HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL COUNTERWEIGHT
A technically perfect operation of the overspeed governor is only possible with a correct assembly of the go-
vernor rope itself and of the tension weight with counterweight.
While determining at which height the tension weight with counterweight has to be mounted, it must be made
clear that:
- in no case, the counterweight must touch the floor (fig. 1 and 2), otherwise, the function of the overspeed
governor is put out of operation;
- when the framework of the elevator car reaches its lowest position (by the compressed buffer), the lower
rope-anchor and the downward remaining rope-end must not meet the pulley of the tension weight.
• Cut the overspeed governor rope sufficiently and lay it down on the rope pulley of the tension weight.
• Supply the first rope-end with the rope-anchor (fig. 1 and 2) and attach it to the safety gear.
• Let the second piece of rope drop inside the elevator shaft.
