MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE
ADJUSTING THE CLOSING SPEED AND THE FORCE OF THE FINAL STROKE. Usually
performed using special screws, ARE IMPORTANT, both to adapt perfectly the action
of the door-closer to the weight of the door on which it is applied, and to ensure
effective operation in all seasons. The viscosity of the internal oil actually changes
in relation to the external temperature. THE ACTION OF THE DOOR-CLOSER IS
THEREFORE SUBJECT TO NATURAL SEASONAL VARIATIONS THAT MAY REQUIRE
MINOR PERIODIC ADJUSTMENTS, in order to maintain the effectiveness of the
mechanism. The door-closer has 2 different adjustments: the closing speed and the
force of the end stroke that is used to overcome the lock latch resistance at the time
of closing.
• Adjust the force of the end stroke and then the Final Speed according to the weight of the door by rotating
screw A no greater than 30°÷45°.
• Adjust and periodically check the Closing Speed by rotating screw B no greater than 30°÷45°.

A difference of height exceeding 30 cm between the car floor and the landing level, may imply a
serious risk of falling inside the shaft.
Therefore, NEVER use the intermediate landing door during rescue operations.
To unblock and open the landing door, first open the driving force main switch, then insert the safety key in the
special hole in the jamb, then turn the key. Open the door carefully, making sure of the car posirion in respect to
the landing.
Upon the operatin completed, make sure that all the landing doors are locked and blocked.
11. Repair
DANGER
Usually a damaged frame (especially if the damage was caused by a bending, excessive heat etc.)
cannot be replaced. The damaged parts must be replaced. Only spare parts by LIFTINGITALIA S.r.l.
can be used for replacement.
The repair operations must be carried out by qualified personnel, with the maximum care, to
guarantee post repair efficiency.
The following operations can be carried out directly in place by qualified personnel:
• Sanding down the rust (caused by painting faults) and anti-rust layer application;
• Gibs replacement;
• Replacement of screws and motor unit, in platform and pit;
• Replacement of electrical parts.
