the top of the car
,What must be marked at the bottom of each belt shackle? - CORRECT ANSWER - The Wedge
must be visible with the belt and wedge size legible marked or color coded per manufactures
requirements
What is elastic stretch? - CORRECT ANSWER - When the load on the cable causes the cable to
stretch and recover once the load is removed
Why is rope tension critical during elevator instillation? - CORRECT ANSWER - To prevent a
short rope life or uneven wearing of the drive sheave grooves

weight frame
On 1:1 roping where do the ropes end? - CORRECT ANSWER - Connected to the counter
weight frame
What are the advantages of 2:1 roping? - CORRECT ANSWER - Increased tension, longer
sheave life, greater lifting capacity, and slower speeds
What are disadvantages of single roping? - CORRECT ANSWER - Less traction, shorter sheave
life
