TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Weight Limits
The stairlift has been designed to carry one person only, in a seated position. The stairlift has a
maximum weight limit of 300 lbs.
Operating Periods/Excessive Use
The stairlift has been designed to run for four minutes with a break of at least six minutes afterwards.
If you use the stairlift too often without taking a break, the motor will not cool down between
journeys and may become damaged.
Replacement Batteries
We recommend that the batteries in each remote control are renewed at least every eighteen (18)
months. This is the responsibilty of the customer.
Maintenance
To maintain safe and reliable operation, the standard stairlift needs a annual safety inspection
and service.
Upholstery
Carelessness with matches, cigarettes and so on can cause a fire.
The upholstery material used on your stairlift has been tested for compliance with BS5852.
Hand Winding the Stairlift
If necessary, for example to release the safety gear after the OSG has activated or to return the
carriage from an over-run position, the stairlift can be manually hand-wound using the supplied
winding handle. If the OSG has been activated, the carriage should only be hand-wound in the
upwards direction. Hand winding should only be attempted by, or under the supervision of a
competent stairlift engineer.
To hand-wind the stairlift:
•
Turn power off.
•
Fully insert the winding handle into the Emergency Hand Wind Mechanism Socket (8)
•
Keeping the handle fully inserted, carefully rotate it as needed
•
If you rotate the handle clockwise, this will move the chair to the right
•
If you rotate the handle anti-clockwise, this will move the chair to the left
•
Never use the stairlift when the winding handle is in the socket
•
Never hand-wind the lift with a power drill
