directional control (up/down)
When the passenger has moved onto the platform in accordance with the “Driving/Moving
onto the platform” instructions, the platform control must be switched on. Put on the key and
turn it into “ON” position. Now the carriage can be set in motion by pressing the “up” or “down”
directional control.
As soon as you press the directional control, the barriere closes and the ramp moves into
travel position automatically. After the barriere is closed and the ramp is in up position, the
stairlift starts to travel.
The carriage stops at all stop positions (upper-, lower-, intermediate stop) automatically. The
barriere will open in all stop positions, if the directional control remains pressed. If you wants
to leave the platform, please look at chapter “Leaving the platform”. If you want to travel to the
next stop position, stop pressing the directional buton for a moment, then press the button for
the same direction again! The barriere keeps closed (or closes again when it has been
opened a little bit already) and the carriage starts to travel to the next station.
The carriage stops also when the ramps or any other safety pad travels against obstacles!
Keep the directional control pressed until reaching the desired stop position. If the directional
control is released, the carriage will stop immediately.
As a safety measure, the plant is equipped with an emergency stop (red button on the control).
In the unlikely event that the stairlift does not stop when the directional control button is
released, press the emergency stop button, a self-locking button, and the lift will stop
immediately.
To unlock the emergency stop button, press it once more or turn it clockwise.
