STAIRLIFT OPERATION

The unit should not be operated until the seat has been 

rotated back and locked to the travel position. Failure to do so 

will indicate ‘E6’ on the display panel. The unit will also fail to 

operate if the down arm is in the folded position.

Safety Note: The footrest does not swivel, and 

the seat only swivels at the top of the staircase.

To turn the seat, depress and hold down 
the seat swivel lever at the side of the 
seat pad. This will then allow the seat to 
be rotated to face the staircase landing. 
The seat will lock in position at 45º 
and 90º.

Make sure the seat is locked into 

position before getting on or off  

the stairlift.

450 swivel is

used on a

narrow size

landing.

900 swivel is

POWERED SWIVEL SEAT

PADDLE CONTROL OPERATION 

When the unit reaches the upper end 
of the track, it will stop automatically. 

After a short delay, the seat will start 
swiveling and stop once the 90º 
position has been reached.

It is important that the seatbelt is 

undone ONLY when the seat has 

fully swivelled and it is safe to 

leave the stairlift.
