From page 75...
... The competent elevator operator makes sure that his equipment is performing according to design and that it will continue to perform within acceptable tolerances. Besides minimizing hazard, insistence on quality minimizes costs in the long run.

From page 76...
... No visible dust emission from enclosed equipment operating at design capacity, except where structural or mechanical conditions make such performance impossible. Exceptions should be identified in the specifications.
