Securing the track
Note: If there are any other obstacles move
the track away from the wall until the rear edge
of the power pack can travel freely past them.
2 Drive the stairlift to the top of the track.
If the footplate does NOT finish level with
the landing then:
a Drive the stairlift so that the footplate is level
with the top of the stairs (Figure 49) .
b Measure the distance from the top safety
edge to the inside face of the end cap
(Figure 50) .
c Drive the stairlift halfway down the stairs.
d Carefully slide the top of the track into the
middle of the staircase so that you have
access to the end stops (you may not need
to do this if you are installing a left hand lift).
e Loosen the grub screws on the bottom stop
(the ramped one) so that you can just slide it.
Note: Be careful not to loosen the grub
screws fully – the bottom stop may slide
all the way down the track.
f Slide the bottom stop down the track
so that the distance from the top edge
of the stop to the inside face of the end cap
is the same as the distance measured from
the safety edge to the end cap
(Figure 51) .
g Tighten the grub screws.
h Re-position the track in its final location as
previously described.
i Drive the stairlift back to the top of the stairs
and check that the footplate now finishes
level with the landing
(Figure 49) .
j Make minor adjustments as necessary and
repeat process until the footplate finishes
level with the landing.
3
Secure the feet to the staircase using the
woodscrews provided in the Green bag
from the fit kit
(Figure 52) .
Note: If you are installing the Simplicity track
on onto a carpet that is very thick and is
liable to compress significantly under load
you MUST space the track 10mm from the
nose of the staircase. Failure to do so may
result in the footplate safety edge operating,
stopping the lift.
4
Fit the power supply to the wall in an
appropriate position using the bracket
supplied.
