Operating Procedures■ Before starting or stopping the escalator operation:

WARNING

Make sure that there are no passengers on the escalator, and that there are no
objects placed on the escalator.
Starting or stopping the escalator when there are passengers on the escalator could
cause the passengers to tumble down the steps, which may lead to death or serious
injury.
■ Remove the key and return it to the person in charge after use toprevent unexpected accident.

■ Do not use keys and switches with wet hands.

There is the possibility of electric shock if water reaches internal electricalcomponents from the operating keys, which may lead to death or serious injury. This
could also cause equipment failures or breakdown.

■ Automatic operation in low-speed standby mode. < Optional >Automatic operation in low-speed standby mode (below: low-speed standby operation) uses a sensor which
detects a passenger at the in landing, and changes the operation running speed of the escalator accordingly.
In standby (when there is no passenger), escalator operates at standby speed (10m/min), and if a passenger
is detected, it will automatically accelerate to normal speed. If no passengers are detected for a certain
period of time after that, it will slow down to standby speed automatically.

accidents due to contact with passengers or with baggage, please make sure that passengers allow a proper
space in front and behind them.
When the escalator is crowded with passengers, please give instructions to restrict the flow of passengers
and have them keep a proper space in front of them when getting on the escalator to prevent crowding at thelanding area. If the landing area is crowded, stop passengers from getting on the escalator immediately to avoid
an accident.
