Safety and servicing
Annual service
We advise that your stairlift is serviced after
the first 12 months and thereafter AT LEAST
EVERY 12 MONTHS. The service history log
must be filled in regularly as a proof of specified
maintenance. Failure to do so may invalidate
the product warranty.
This work must be carried out by a competent
person, i.e. a Handicare approved dealer.
If in doubt, please contact the Handicare Service
Department on +44 (0) 8700 118282.
If you own your stairlift and no longer require it
your dealer or Handicare may be interested in
purchasing it.
Warnings and
precautions
NEVER
Allow more than one person to use the stairlift at
any one time.
The maximum carrying capacity is dependant on
the model that you have:
NEVER
Allow children to play on or with the stairlift.
NEVER
Allow water to come into contact with the
components in the stairlift. If you have to
transport liquids DO SO WITH CARE.
NEVER
Use the stairlift without using the safety belt,
or any other harnesses fitted.
NEVER
Use the stairlift in a standing position.
NEVER
Place objects in the track or leave objects on
the stairs, where they could come into contact
with the lift in operation. Your stairlift is fitted with
pressure sensitive side edges and undertray on
the footplate, which will automatically stop the
lift if it detects any obstructions.
ALWAYS
Keep your FEET ON THE FOOTPLATE whilst the
stairlift is in motion, and try to avoid your feet
hanging over the edges of the footplate.
NEVER
Swivel the seat until the lift has come to a stop
at the top or bottom of the staircase.
ALWAYS
Fold the chair when it is not in use to avoid
obstructing exits.
WARNING
If the overspeed governor is activated it should
only be reset by a competent person, i.e. a
Handicare approved dealer. Activation of the
overspeed governor is indicated by the lift not
being able to be driven down the stairs and the
diagnostic display showing 0.
NEVER
Use for firefighting or evacuation during a fire.
NEVER
Use the track as a handrail.
