Footrest and Motor Housing Sensors
The seat assembly is designed to swivel and lock in position. Lift up and hold the swivel
handle to swivel the seat to a convenient position for transfer into or out of the seat. For your
safety, do not swivel the seat until the unit has stopped.
You can flip the armrests up and backwards to allow easier transfer into or out of the seat.
To raise the armrest, grasp the end of the armrest and flip it backwards. Be sure to lower the
armrest back to its original position whenever you are seated in the chair.
When the stair lift is not in use, you can fold up the seat, footrest and armrests to allow for
more space on the stairway.
Always use the seat belt to ensure that you are safely secured in the chair during travel.
There are upper and lower limit switches on the Vesta to stop the stair lift when it reaches the
top or bottom of the stairway.
There is also a safety switch for the swivel seat that will prevent the unit from running if the
seat is not locked in a normal riding position.
There are edge sensors on the sides of the footrest and an underpan sensor on the bottom
of the footrest. There are also edge sensors on the sides of the motor housing. These sensors
will stop the unit if an obstruction is encountered on the stairway.
If you encounter an obstruction, press the opposite side of the UP/DOWN rocker switch to
run the stair lift in the opposite direction. Remove the obstacle from the pathway and then
proceed in the original direction of travel.
