Step-Saver Owner’s Manual
3. FEATURES
Seating Features
The seat assembly is designed to swivel and lock in five positions. Lift up and
hold the swivel handle to swivel the seat to a convenient position for transfer
into or out of the seat. For your safety, do not swivel the seat until the unit has
stopped.
You can flip the armrests up and backwards to allow easier transfer into or out
of the seat. To raise the armrest, grasp the end of the armrest and flip it
backwards. Be sure to lower the armrest back to its original position whenever
you are seated in the chair.
When the stairlift is not in use, you can fold up the seat, footrest and armrests
to allow for more space on the stairway.
Always use the seat belt to ensure that you are safely secured in the chair during
travel.
Safety Features
Safety Switches
There are upper and lower limit switches on the Step-Saver to stop the stairlift
when it reaches the top or bottom of the stairway.
There is also a safety switch for the swivel seat that will prevent the unit from
running if the seat is not locked in the normal riding position.
Footrest and Carriage Sensors
There are edge sensors on the sides of the footrest and an underpan sensor on
the bottom of the footrest. There are also edge sensors on the sides of the
carriage. These sensors will stop the unit if an obstruction is encountered on
the stairway.
If you encounter an obstruction, press the opposite side of the UP/DOWN
rocker switch to run the stairlift in the opposite direction. Remove the obstacle
from the pathway and then proceed in the original direction of travel.
