6. 

key switch 

 

7. 

green light 

 
 
 
 
Is the platform not on the level on which you want to move onto the platform, you can call the 
platform by using the wall controls: 
 
Switch on the wall control by putting in and turning the key. The green light is on now. Press the 
“Up” or “Down”-Button and the platform moves into the direction as long as you hold the button. 
If the green light is not on, please make sure that the stairlift is not used from another person 
on the platform or from another wall control! In this case please turn the key back (=switch off 
your wall control) and wait until the lift is free for usage. Now you can swith on the wall control 
again and call the lift to your landing. If the wall control does not work anyway, please call our 
service team and ask for advise! 
 
The carriage travels as long as you keep pressed the directional button on the wall control. 
 
 

 

Wall controls only control the lift when the platform is folded up. 

 
The carriage stops automatically at the stop position. To use the lift fold down the platform by 
using the “Open”-Button. Press the button as long as it takes that the platform is in horizontal 
position and the barriere has opened completely. Simultaneously the ramps turn down to the 
correct position enabling safe driving/moving onto the platform.When the platform is folded 
down, all controls other than the platform control lose their function. This allows safe movement 
onto the platform. 
 
Before moving onto the platform switch off the wall control, turn back the key to position “OFF” 
and take out the key.
