10.2 HANDRAIL INSTALLATION & ADJUSTMENT
1) Handrail guide system
▪ Confirm the return guide is located so there is enough clearance for the handrail under
the guide and between the guide and truss.
▪ Install the newel return guide as following handrail adjusting guide. (Figure 10-4)
① Line up disconnected part of return guide and adjusting guide. Mark and cut
adjusting guide 12mm below the point where guides over lap.
② Install handrail on remaining adjusting guide.
③ Temporarily connect guides with Inner splice bar. Install outer splicing bar on return
guide, and tighten bolts. The outer splice bar on the adjusting guide is not installed until
step ⑦ mentioned below, so that the inner splice bar is free to move while the
adjusting guide is adjusted.
④ 700mm below splice, lift adjusting guide and handrail up toward top of balustrade. On
inner splice bar, mark end of adjusting guide. Release handrail and adjusting
guide. (Figure 10-4)
⑤ 700mm below splice, push adjusting guide and handrail down away from balustrade.
On inner splice bar, mark end of adjusting guide. Release handrail and adjusting
guide. (Figure 10-4)
⑥ Find the midpoint of tension marks made by push adjusting guide up and down.
Adjust adjusting guide that the end of adjusting guide is located at midpoint of
tension marks. Attach outer splice bar on adjusting guide and tighten bolts.

2) Installation of handrail system
Handrail system is subassembly with circular moving handrail, which is supported for
holding by passenger. Because of limit of transportation, subassemblies of handrail system are
not convenience to install on the escalator (except special). Handrail system assembling is
divided to two times to finished. in the first time, debugging、checking and remove to park are
finished in workshop, the second installation will be finished on building site, which is a
systemic engineering. See the appendix installation drawing.
Handrail system are composed of handrail driver、guide panel、handrail、handrail entry
device、skirt panel、inner and outer deck and top and bottom turning parts.
The handrail in the handrail system is a motional parts for holding by passenger, which
speed should be accordance with speed of step,and should be ahead of step for 0-2.0%,
Which can be done by adjusting handrail drivers.
Handrail driving system is a subassembly to drive handrail to move circularly (Figure
10-5).
Figure 10-5 Handrail drive
1、Tension screw 2、Press tape 3、Friction wheel 4、Handrail
5、Tension rod 6、Screw 7、Locknut 8、Nut 9、Press spring
Handrail are drove by friction wheel (3) with rubber tire, tension of handrail (4) may be
done by adjusting the nut 8 on the tension rod, and press handrail with press tape (4), tension
of press tape is adjusted with tension screw.
Tension force of handrail and press tape should be proper, and friction wheel will drive
handrail normally, at this time, it will take more strength to stop handrail. Tension of press tape
are kept continuously by spring (9), while operating tension rod (5), it must be done to removed
inner deck and skirt panel, and loose screw 6, release locknut (7), and adjust tension rod with
nut (8). While finished adjusting it must be remembered to tighten the locknut (7).

11. SKIRT PANEL INSTALLATION
▪ Install the lower curve skirt section onto the skirt support angle on the lower truss.
▪ Check the skirt face is vertical to the steps. Both sides' gap between skirt panel and step
shall be within 4mm.
▪ If the skirt is not vertical to the steps, loosen bolt with holding the skirt support angle.
Readjust it as required.

12. SECOND RUNNING TEST & SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
NOTICE : Remove dust on surface of track and dust in the machine room first and then
do second running test to prevent from breakage of step.
▪ Adjust upper & lower skirt switch gap.
▪ Check handrail running condition, skirt panel & step interference.
▪ Combplate & step guide roller adjustment
① The teeth of the comb section "A"-"A" must mesh correctly with the cleats of the step
tread. If comb needs adjustment, see Figure 12-1.
② The step guide rollers guide steps running smoothly without knocking. Adjust the rollers
or the skirt panels, if necessary.
③ There shall be clearance of 0.2~0.3mm between rollers and steps.
④ The top of the step guide rollers must be 5 ± 2mm below from the top of the step tread.
Adjust rollers, if necessary.
⑤ Teeth of the combfinger shall be engaged with the grooves of the step tread by
approximately 6mm depth. Raise or lower the combplate, if necessary.
