OPERATING THE LIFT
Before you attempt to use your Summit Stairway Lift, ask your dealer to
demonstrate the features and operation of the lift. The dealer should
show you how to use all of the following items:
Power Indicator Light - AC powered units
- This small green light at the
top of the track indicates power is on to the unit. If it is not lit, the unit will
not run. This is generally the result of a blown circuit breaker. The circuit
breaker is located under the light and is resettable.
Charger Light - Battery powered units
- This small light located on the
charger gives you a constant picture of the charger’s operation. A green
light indicates the batteries are completely charged. A reddish/orange light
indicates the charger is charging the batteries. Should there be no
light—or the light is continually flashing, contact the factory.
Unit Control Switch
- This is a rocker switch located on the front of the
arm rest. It must be pushed and held during the entire travel of the lift.
Pushing one side moves the lift up, the other side moves the lift down.
The lift will automatically stop when it reaches the end of the track or any-
time you release the control.
Swivel Seat
- The seat swivels at the top and bottom landings to facilitate
getting on and off the lift. To swivel the seat, pull up on the handle on
either side of the seat and use your body to turn the seat in the direction
desired.
Make sure the seat locks before attempting to mount or dis-
mount the lift. Returning the seat to its forward, locked position be-
fore operating the lift is very important. A safety switch under the
seat prevents the lift from moving unless the seat is forward and
locked in place.
Seat Belt
- A seat belt is provided to keep you firmly in the chair during
the travel of the lift.
Never operate the lift until the seat belt is fas-
tened securely around your waist.
Obstructions
- Always check the stairway and track to make sure there
are no obstructions before traveling up or down the stairs.
Never operate
the lift if anything or anyone is on the stairway.
The footrest is
equipped with a sensor to stop the lift if it should strike anything. If this
happens, push the unit control the opposite direction to move away from
the obstruction.
Landing Controls
- A remote control is provided at the top and bottom of
the stairs. Pressing the control will bring the lift to you. The lift will stop
automatically when it reaches the end of the track. It will also stop if you
release the control.
This lift will provide you years of service when used
correctly. Make sure you understand each of the
features listed below prior to using your stairway lift.
