Door zone indicator must indicate that the elevator car is in a door zone before the car doors
are opened. If the elevator car is not in a door zone, t r a i n e d e l e v a t o r p e r s o n n e l must move
it to a door zone using technical rescue procedures. If technical rescue fails, emergency
rescue by s p e c i a l l y t r a i n e d e m e r g e n c y p e r s o n n e l is needed.
N O T E : In rare cases the main power supply to the elevator is unavailable and the emergency
battery is empty. In such case the position of the elevator car must be checked by opening the
landing door slightly (maximum of 90 mm). Before opening the car doors, it must be visually
verified that the passengers can be assisted to the landing without causing a fall hazard.

Use the car lifting arm, if car cannot be moved by other methods.
Use lifting arm, for example: When a car is stuck on safety gear, and there is no power supply
for the elevator.
N O T E : Always store the lifting arm in its regular place of storage under the machinery cover
next to machine.

– When the elevator car is lifted with lifting arm, the rescue lever must be in rescue position.

Normal rescue describes the release of passengers from a trapped elevator car without
moving the car, entering the elevator shaft or using special rescue tools. In practice this
means that specially trained and authorized personnel are able to open the landing doors to
release the passengers when the car is in the door zone.
If rescue cannot be done using the normal rescue methods, professional and authorized
elevator maintenance personnel must be contacted for technical rescue.
X0000088561 D.1
Technical rescue operation is required when an elevator car is trapped more than 200 mm
above or below the landing or there is a gap below the apron.
This means that persons authorized to perform technical rescue must move the car using
recall drive feature (RDF) or brake releasing device. Exact methods vary case-by-case, they
depend for example on the position of the car and the load inside the car.
In some cases the car must be released with special equipment before the car can be moved
to the door zone.
Emergency rescue is required when the elevator car is trapped between landings and it
cannot be moved to a door zone (technical rescue is not successful).
N O T E : The site-specific rescue plan must define the exact number of rescue persons
needed!
Building configuration, elevator accessories and local level emergency rescue procedures
create a wide range of possible variations for emergency rescue requirements and actual
tasks. Emergency rescue plans must therefore be made locally.
Normally the building owner, professional elevator maintenance organization and local
emergency services make such plans together. The procedures are then incorporated into the
building rescue plans. In countries where it is required, a site specific rescue plan must be
available in the elevator controller or machine room (if applicable). It must include relevant
parts of this instruction and additional, site specific content. All parties who are to be involved
in any possible emergency scenario are then trained according to the emergency plan.
Practice drills are to be held according to the local safety policy.
KONE specified rescue devices are stored in the elevator controller or machine room (if
applicable). Fall protection equipment is provided by emergency services.
N O T E : For emergency rescue by emergency services, KONE only describes the usage of
KONE elevator components. The emergency rescue method selection is the responsibility of
the emergency services.
X0000088563 H.1
When you are about to start the rescue operation, inform passengers that:
– They are safe and should remain calm.
– Help is on the way to safely rescue them from the elevator car.
– Car ventilation is adequate even if car fan does not operate.
– They should stay away from the elevator door, so the doors can be opened safely.
– Ask reassuring questions from passengers and find out what happened:
• How many passengers are inside the elevator car?
• Are passengers ok?
Does anyone need medical help?
If medical help is needed, contact paramedics at once in order to start treatment without
delay.
• Are the lights still functioning inside the elevator car?
• Are any of the call buttons lit?
• Is there a floor number displayed on the floor position indicator, which position?
• Which direction was the elevator going when it stopped?
• Which floor did you last leave?
• Which floor was to be your last stop?
X0000065985 D.3
WA R N I N G : If there is risk of falling for example, to stairs, use additional fall prevention
system and barriers as necessary.
WA R N I N G : Always push a stop button down before entering the elevator shaft, car roof or
pit.

SSA devices are used in elevators where space in pit, headroom or both, differ from the
minimum required by EN 81-1. SSA ensures a temporary safe working space for personnel
installing, maintaining or inspecting the elevator. SSA complies with the requirements of
EN81–21.
Correct safety procedures must be followed when working on the car roof or in the pit of such
elevators.

When the elevator car is released from safety gear, it is moved to door zone by using the
manual brake releasing device.
N O T E : If the normal power supply and the emergency lighting battery are inoperative, move
the car with car position checks at landing.
1. Inform the passengers that you are about to move the car to let them out and they must
stay calm and not try to do anything by themselves.
X0000067601
2. Ask the passengers if the car light or car emergency lighting is on.
If the normal power supply to the elevator is unavailable but the car emergency lighting

6.3.2 Move the elevator car using the manual brake releasing device (Elevators delivered
before 2015–09–28)
When the elevator car is released from safety gear, it is moved to door zone by using the
manual brake releasing device.
N O T E : If the normal power supply and the emergency lighting battery are inoperative, move
the car with car position checks at landing.
1. Inform the passengers that you are about to move the car to let them out and they must
stay calm and not try to do anything by themselves.
X0000067601
2. Ask the passengers, if the car light or car emergency lighting is on.
If the normal power supply to the elevator is unavailable but the car emergency lighting
is on, the emergency lighting battery is operative.
N O T E : Battery supplies power to the door zone LED’s, and speed and direction LED’s
in the LCE user interface.
3. Check that landing doors are closed and that they are mechanically locked.

N O T E : In addition to the described Safety space arrangement (SSA) instructions, all safety
measures for normal elevator maintenance must be implemented and local safety regulations
followed.
SSA devices are used in elevators where space in pit, headroom or both, differ from the
minimum required by EN 81-1. SSA ensures a temporary safe working space for personnel
installing, maintaining or inspecting the elevator.
Correct safety procedures must be followed when working on the car roof or in the pit of such
elevators.
The temporary safe working space is created with the following additional SSA equipment:
– Pit safety devices
– Car roof safety devices
– Car roof depress board
– Landing door opening detector(s)
Pit safety devices are used in elevators where space in pit differs from the minimum required
by EN 81-1.

X000015457
Car roof depress board (A) is used in elevators where space in headroom differs from the
minimum required by EN 81-1. Stepping to car roof from any floor is detected by safety
depress board (A) covering the car roof.
X000015458
A landing door opening with the emergency opening key is detected regardless where the
elevator is standing (detected even if the elevator is at landing).
At floors where the detectors are located the landing door opening keyhole(s) are equipped
with protective flap(s). Torx key for opening the flap is located in MAP.

Elevators where space in pit differs from the minimum required by EN 81-1 are equipped with
pit safety devices and sticker attached to the shaft wall in the pit.
