In what situation would you need to adjust a Handrail Switch?

Adjusting a Handrail Switch is essential when it does not activate the escalator. The Handrail Switch is a crucial safety feature designed to ensure that the escalator operates only when a user is actively engaging with it. If this switch fails to activate the escalator, it presents a potential hazard as users could expect the escalator to function but find it non-operational instead.

It is important to conduct inspections and adjustments on the Handrail Switch in order to ensure it properly recognizes user interaction, thereby allowing the escalator to start and stop as intended. This adjustment not only ensures safety but also compliance with operational standards for escalators.
