Using the 82" Elevator

• Entering from the outside, call the elevator using the key that opens the dome buildings; if on the 3rd floor, just push the CALL button (see accompanying photos)

• If the door is fully open, push the CLOSE button

• Wait for doors to close completely before pushing a floor button (you may become trapped if you don't wait)

• If the doors (either inner or outer) don't close completely, use the straps or hand/foot power to fully close them

• Don't push any other buttons if any of the door actions are still in progress

• Make sure the elevator light is off before you leave

If you should become trapped...

• If you are fully at the top or bottom floor, but the doors won't open, pull/push open the inner door manually

• Look around the edge of the door (on the bottom floor, on the left; on the top floor, on the right

• You will see a roller and a bar. Push the roller toward the side it is attached. This will release the lock on the outer door. See photo below.

• Holding the roller up, push/pull the outer door open

• Report the problem to someone in Physical Plant. If you are an observer, you may do this in your xreport

• If this doesn't work or you aren't willing to wrestle with the doors, use the phone to call someone to let you out
