Omega
platform lift
page 5 of 25
Load capacity:
The maximum load is indicated on the sideboard of the carriage.
Serial load:
150 kg (330 lb) for the wheelchair platform
130 kg (286 lb) for seat performance.
(Optionally a plant with a maximum load up to 225 kg is available).
Do not exceed this limit!
Keep hands and fingers away from the back of the carriage! Passengers must remain
in the wheelchair or seat while the lift is operating.
Persons walking up or down the stairs while the lift is being operated must avoid
contact with the platform. Platform users should take into consideration that the platform
needs more space in a bend than on a straight railway. Therefore, before moving, look
to see if anyone is using the stairs or if there are any obstacles.
Emergency stop
An emergency stop is fitted on the carriage. In case of emergency press the red STOP-
switch and the lift will stop immediately. To unclamp the STOP-switch, it is necessary to
press it once more or to turn it clockwise.
OMEGA
stairlifts are equipped with the following safety features:
-
drive with self-locking gear and break
-
overspeed governor
-
mechanical bolted barriers
-
optional:
safety pads around the platform used for carriages without ramps
safety pads on the underside of the platform
Do not disable any safety feature of the lift by modifying mechanical or electrical parts
of the lift. Please contact LEHNER or one of its authorised partners for service!
We recommend preventive checks, i.e. a regular servicing of the OMEGA stairlift will
insure safe operation for a long time. Any abnormal operation of the lift should be
reported to the servicing engineer. In the case of irregularities such as vibrations or
abnormal noise emissions, do not use the lift. Call LEHNER for help! Follow all
instructions given by LEHNER experts, fitting teams and service staff.
Lift up the upper armrest before moving onto the platform or leaving the platform when
using a carriage with seat performance!
