Safety Features
Speed: The stairlift is designed to travel down the stairway at a slightly slower speed than
traveling up.
Obstruction sensors: Sensors in the stairlift footrest will stop the carriage if an obstacle is
encountered on the stairs. If this should occur, press the opposite side of the armrest control
switch to run the carriage in the opposite direction. Clear the obstacle and resume travel.
Power outage: Your stairlift is battery powered and will operate for some time during a
power outage, depending on the battery condition, length of stairs and weight of rider. Only in
the event of a prolonged power outage – more than one hour – will it be necessary to turn the
power off (circuit breaker switch on the carriage) and turn off or unplug the charger from the
wall outlet to conserve battery charge.
Power seat option:
An overload sensor will prevent the seat from swiveling if a jam is detected.
Power footrest option: An overload sensor will cause the footrest to return to its last position
if a jam is detected.
Power folding rail option: An overload sensor will prevent damage from occurring if an
obstruction or jam is detected in the path of the moving folding rail section. The folding rail
section will stop and briefly reverse direction if an obstruction is detected.
