Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Otis Moving Walkways.
Troubleshooting tips
If the moving walkway stops abruptly, check for any obstruction or foreign object on the treadway or at the entry/exit points. Clear the area and press the reset button (usually located at the control panel) to restart.
If the handrail is not moving smoothly or is damaged, do not use the walkway and contact Otis service immediately. Attempting to use it may cause injury.
If the walkway emits unusual noises or vibrations, stop using it and report the issue to Otis. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.
If the walkway's safety sensors are triggered (e.g., due to overcrowding or blocked sensors), the system may shut down. Ensure the entry and exit areas are clear and wait for the system to reset automatically.
If the walkway's lights or indicators are not working, it may indicate a power issue. Check if the main power switch is on and if the circuit breaker has tripped. If the problem persists, contact Otis.
