Emergency Stop button on stairlifts
(E-stop button)
All Handicare stairlifts include an emergency
stop feature which is activated by a red ‘E-stop’
button. This feature is designed for use in
emergency situations when powered travel up
or down the track and powered features need
to stop immediately. This button is incorporated
into the design of all Handicare stairlifts in
different locations depending upon the model.
It is usually located on the left or right side
below the seat.
When operated, ‘E-stop’ will immediately disable
the stairlift preventing powered travel up or down
the track and powered features operating. The
button will remain locked in a compressed position
until it is unlocked. To unlock the E-stop button, it
should be twisted clockwise. The button will ‘pop’
out and the stairlift will regain functionality.
Please be aware that the button may sometimes
be activated by accident. Follow the simple
un-locking procedure to regain functionality.
PLEASE NOTE:
Location of the E-stop button varies depending
upon the stairlift seat design. For example:

– Handicare Smart seat showing
E-stop located on the side towards the rear
of the seat.
Figure 22
– Handicare 2000 Style seat showing
E-stop located on the side towards the front of
the seat.
