Before Operating the Stairlift
1
Ensure the stairway is clear of any obstructions and the stairlift charger is
plugged in at the wall.
2
Insert the key and turn it a quarter turn clockwise. Flip the ON/OFF power
switch to the ON position.
3
Check that the seat is locked in the riding position for up/down travel.
Operating the Stairlift
1
Use one of the remote control CALL/SEND units to move the stairlift to the
required end of the rail. Be sure to point the remote at the lift when pressing
the button.
2
If necessary, fold down the seat, armrests, and footrest.
3
Lift up the seat swivel handle, rotate the seat to a comfortable boarding
position, and then release the swivel handle to lock the seat in place.
4
Position yourself in the seat and fasten the seat belt.
5
Lift up and hold the seat swivel handle and rotate the seat so you are parallel
to the rail (with your back against the stairway wall). Release the swivel
handle to lock the seat in the riding position.
6
Place your feet securely on the footrest and your arms on the armrests.
7
Press and hold one end of the toggle switch to move the stairlift in the
desired direction.
8
The stairlift will stop automatically at the upper or lower end of the rail, or if
the toggle switch is released.

Once the stairlift has come to a complete stop, swivel the seat as required.
When the seat is locked in place, unfasten the seat belt and get out of the
chair.
10
To allow for more room on the stairway when the stairlift is not in use, swivel
the seat back to the riding position, and then fold up the seat, armrests, and
footrest.
Emergency Stop (Optional)
In the event of an emergency, you can press the optional red Emergency Stop
button located on the arm of the chair. The stairlift will stop immediately. Once
the emergency is dealt with, release the button to restore normal operation.
