Operating your Handicare stairlift
Trapped articles
Your stairlift is fitted with safety edges on the
bottom of the footrest and on the lift itself that
will stop the stairlift should any article become
trapped by the footrest
(Figure 20)
.
To remove the article reverse the stairlift
away from the object then have the object
removed from the staircase. Proceed on
your stairlift as normal.
Emergency hand
winding instructions
In the unlikely event that the lift has a total power
failure or runs on to the final track stops there is
an emergency hand winding procedure. Please
follow these steps:
1
Switch off the stairlift with the key.
2
Insert the emergency hand winding knob
(Figure 19)
. The position of the hand winding
hole will always be on the downside main
body panel, regardless of the model that you
have.
3
Turn the knob in the direction indicated for the
required movement.
4
When the desired position is reached remove
the hand winder and switch the lift on.
If in any doubt contact your local Handicare
approved dealer or ring Handicare direct on
+44 (0) 3700 118282.
