Operating the swivel
Figure 10
A swivel seat is provided to enable you to
mount/dismount the seat more easily at
the top of the stairs by swivelling you on to
the landing.
To operate the seat swivel, wait until
the stairlift has stopped.
To swivel the seat hold either (there is one
both sides of the seat) swivel lever down
or pull it up. This will release the seat lock
and allow you to move the seat round by
pushing away from the footplate. When
the seat reaches 90 degrees it will lock in
position.
You should not attempt to leave the seat
until it has firmly ‘clicked’ into its locked
position.
To swivel in the opposite direction follow
the same procedure, but push away from
the landing.
Power operated swivel (optional)
If your stairlift is fitted with an optional
power operated swivel there will be no
swivel levers fitted. In order to swivel the
seat hold the operating toggle in the up
direction. When the stairlift reaches the
top of the stairs continue to hold the
operating toggle in the up direction.
The stairlift will beep three times and then
the seat will swivel. When the seat
is fully swivelled to 90 degrees the seat will
stop.
You should not attempt to leave the seat
until it is fully rotated.
To swivel in the opposite direction follow
the same procedure in reverse. Push the
operating lever in the down direction. The
seat will beep three times and then after a
short pause it will rotate to the driving
position. Continue to hold the operating
lever in the down direction. The stairlift
will then again beep three times before
beginning its descent.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NEVER
Swivel the seat without the lap belt
fastened.
NEVER
Mount or dismount the swivel seat unless it
is locked in position.
NEVER
Try to operate the swivel seat whilst the
stairlift is in motion. (As a safety precaution,
should you try to use it whilst the lift is in
motion, it will cause the lift to stop).
NEVER
Attempt to travel up or down the staircase
unless the seat is in the correct position (i.e.
facing directly across the staircase).

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 11).
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
Minivator approved dealer or ring
Minivator direct on 08700 118282.
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 12).
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.
