and install all new hydraulic oil line and fittings with isolated couplings.
(4) Check valve shall be designed to close quietly without permitting any
perceptible reverse flow.
(5) Lowering Valve and Leveling Valve shall be externally adjustable for
drop-away speed, lowering speed, leveling speed and stopping speed to
insure smooth "Down"starts and stops. The leveling valve shall be
designed to level the car to the floor in direction car is traveling when
slowdown is initiated. Maximum level variation shall be plus/minus '/4
inch.
(6) Provide storage tanks constructed of steel in conformance with ASME

"up/down" push buttons at each intermediate landing and "call' push
buttons at terminal landings. Momentary pressing of one or more
buttons shall dispatch car to the designated landing in the order in which
landings are reached by car, regardless of sequence in which the
buttons are pressed. Each landing call shall be canceled when
answered. The pressing of an "up" button when the car is traveling in the
down direction shall not intercept the travel.
(1) When the car has responded to the last stop, its direction of
travel shall reverse automatically.

from its car buttons for any special usage.
C. In the event the car shall stall below the top landing due to low oil in the
system or if for any other cause the car fails to reach the top landing
within a predetermined time while traveling "up", a circuit shall be
provided which shall automatically return the car to the bottom landing
and open the doors, after which elevator shall be completely shut down.
Service to the car can be restored by recycling the mainline switch.
d. Car Reversal Operation: a car without registered car calls arriving at a
floor where both up and down hall calls are registered shall initially
respond to the hall call in the direction that the car is traveling. If no car
call or hall call is registered for further travel in that direction, the car shall
close its doors and immediately reopen them in response to hall call in
the opposite direction. The direction lanterns shall indicate the change in
direction when the doors reopen. If a car stops in an unoccupied zone
