PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

The Oleo elevator buffer is supplied with a sealed gas
precharge; the plunger is held in the fully compressed
condition during transportation by means of a wire rope
and clamp screws. The transport retainer must be
removed, and the plunger allowed to extend fully. The
following is the recommended removal procedure.
Prior to fitting buffer isolate the lift car while working
underneath.
Before the plunger is released ensure that the buffer is
secured to the floor of the pit using anchor bolts.
Before the plunger is released ensure that there is
sufficient clearance to allow full extension.
DO NOT Stand over the plunger when releasing.
LB 50, 55 and 60
For a controlled release, lower the elevator car (or
equivalent) onto the buffer.
To release the plunger, undo the screws on the rope grip
and allow the wire rope to slip out, see figure 3. Discard
the wire rope and clamps.
Remove the elevator car (or equivalent) and this will
control the recoil of the buffer.
