Once rails are screwed 
down, move the lift to the 
bottom charger again and 
ensure that the digital display 
still reads “Platinum”.  If 
it doesn’t, refer to the 
“Troubleshooting” section 
below.

Install batteries into the 
remotes and test.

Enjoy using your Horizon Plus 
stair lift!

TROUBLESHOOTING

If after completion 
there is 27v on both 
charge points and the 
lift reads “off charge”,  
check the 7.5 amp fuse 
on the main PCB for 
continuity.

Rail legs should 

be at least 

2” from wall, 

bannister, or 

hand rail.
