(Hoisting equipment and rigging shall have a minimum rating of 5 tons) c) Slacken the elevator car hoist cables. d) Slacken the come-a-longs or chain hosts. As these are slackened, the safeties will run out to grip the rails to stop and hold the car for the test to be valid. e) Return the elevator car to its normal operating status, i.e., the safeties returned to their normal position, the come-a-longs or chain hoists removed, and the hoist holding the car. f) Close the gates accessing the car safeties. g) Note: Slackening the hoist cables with the car resting at the bottom of the elevator run is NOT an acceptable test of the elevator safeties, as there is no way to be sure that the safeties will stop the car.
