2. Operation
This chapter first gives a description of the controls for operation.
Then the operation of the lift is described, with all the procedures that occur
in daily use.
2.1 Operating parts
The most important controls are:
The remote call and send stations.
-
The remote control unit in the armrest.
-
2.1.1 Call and send stations (Optional)
The remote call and send stations (figure 2.1) are kept in a holder on the
wall at the top and bottom of the stairs. With the aid of these stations you
can move the stairlift up or down.
TIP
All buttons on the call and send station and the joystick on
the control unit are hold to run. This means that only by holding
a button or joystick will the stairlift move. The lift will make
an audible sound prior to any movement (also see chapter 2.3).
