The test is a annual state mandated test. My paperwork says "the cars safety be tested to determine conformance with the applicable requirements". Also "the governor shall be inspected and operated manually to determine that all parts operate freely". Also the 125% load brake test. My paper work says nothing about the buffer.
Apperently you can't get the car to move fast enough to trip the governor with the motor leads hooked up, so I've been told. I wasn't going to turn the power back on with the motor leads disconnected.
If the machine room is else where in the building, There is a small access door at the top floor, where the brake RELEASE (just a leaver you pull) is at. I guess the kone guys like to take the key to the access door if they lose the contract.
No the governor is not accessible to trip while in flight. I guess I could car top access down from the top floor and hit it with a broom stick. Probably should put a ladder in the car if I do it that way.
