Qualified technician handoff: stop before live electrical testing, sealed-system refrigeration work, compressor service, or protected-compartment access unless a qualified technician is handling the work.

  • Burning smell detected from motor or any component: Power off immediately. Do not attempt further operation until cause is identified.
  • Due to the high safety risk associated with moving mechanical parts, only a qualified technician should diagnose the elevator motion system.
  • If any unusual sounds or resistance are noted, immediately power down and call for a qualified technician.
