Test Running the Stairlift, fully laden and programmed
Important:
T
he lift must be tested up to it’s full laden capacity before handover to
the customer.
Test running the stairlift fully laden ensures the lift is working correctly, and
that it clears any obstacles.
It also begins the bedding in process. Please ensure that the racking is
lubricated with a suitable silicone or synthetic PTFE based grease at this
point. We recommend that you lubricate three teeth every 300mm on the
rack.
Do not over lubricate the rack as this may cause problems with the over
speed assembly due to lubricant/debris build up in the bottom skate of the
carriage.
To test run the stairlift (fully laden):
Move the stairlift to the bottom of the track, fold down the armrests and
footrest, Load the chair to capacity. Using one of the remote controls, send
the stairlift to the top of the rail
If the powered swivel option is fitted, keep direction control activated to
ensure chair automatically swivels to safe entry/exit position. Press remote
control in opposite direction to ensure chair swivels back to correct travel
position.
To test manual swivel, depress swivel levers, and ensure chair will swivel
into correct entry/exit position. Press direction control in downwards

decend in this position. Depress swivel levers and ensure chair swivels
back to correct travel position.
Use remote control to send stairlift down the stairs, stop part way along the
rail and then reverse direction to bring stairlift back to the top, ensuring the
stairlift slows and stops correctly.
Use the remote control to travel down the stairs. Ensure the stairlift slows
and stops correctly.

corners smoothly at the correct speed. If the entire journey takes place at
half-speed the stairlift is still in learning mode.
Make sure the stairlift comes to a stop quickly, if you do any of the following
actions:
Let go of the direction control
Encounter an obstruction with the footrest.
Encounter an obstruction with the safety pads on the carriage.
Move the seat swivel lever.
Run the stairlift from one end of the track to the other; then return it to its
original position. For both trips make sure it runs freely and smoothly, and
proceeds clear of stair treads and any other fixed obstructions.
At one end of the track, stop the chairlift at one end of the track, undo the
seatbelt and make sure the plug part of the lock retracts into its housing.
Lift up the seat, footrest and arm rests and make sure they all stay upright.
