Summit / Harma Warning

Note to any customer of a Summit / Harmar Dumbwaiter.

Summit / Harmar has sent out a Warning Notice of a potential product hazard with the Ascent Dumbwaiter. In some cases the 1/8" steel cable was not crimped enough to prevent the cable from slipping out and causing the cab to fall on the slack device. If the slack device was not tested in the field by the installer, it could not be functional and allow free fall of the cab.

Most Installers and Mechanics know that it is not safe to climb into a dumbwaiter hoistway without first securing the cab overhead, but for those self installed or contractor installed units or a unit that a handyman is maintaining, there is a real danger to be aware of.

If you have a Summit Ascent Dumbwaiter, please conact your installer or Summit Lifts before you operate the unit to confirm the required repairs, if needed.

Our company will be calling all customers to set up a time to make the corrections, after we get them from Summit.
