4. OPERATION
Before Operating the Stairlift
1
Ensure the stairway is clear of any obstructions.
2
Insert the key and turn it a quarter turn clockwise. Flip the ON/OFF switch to
the ON position. This diagnostic display will show the ‘stairlift okay’ code
.
3
Check that the seat is locked in the riding position for up/down travel.
Operating the Stairlift
1
If the stairlift is not at the required end of the stairway, use one of the remote
control CALL/SEND units to call or send the stairlift to the appropriate end
of the rail. Be sure to point the remote at the lift.
2
If necessary, fold down the seat, armrests, and footrest.
3
Position yourself in the seat and fasten the seat belt.
4
Lift up and hold the seat swivel handle, and then rotate the seat so that you
are parallel to the rail (with your back against the stairway wall).
5
Release the seat swivel handle to secure the seat in the riding position.
6
Position both feet securely on the footrest and place your arms on the
armrest cushions.
7
Press and hold one end of the UP/DOWN rocker switch (located on the front
end of the right arm) to move the stairlift in the desired direction.
8
The stairlift will stop automatically at the upper or lower end of the rail, or if
the rocker switch is released.
9
Once the stairlift has come to a complete stop, swivel the seat as required,
unfasten the seat belt, and get out of the chair.
10
To allow for more room on the stairway, you can fold up the seat, armrests,
and footrest when the stairlift is not in use.
NOTE
In addition to the on-board UP/DOWN rocker switch, there are
two remote control CALL/SEND units that enable you to “call” or
“send” the stairlift to or from either end of the rail. Point the
remote at the lift and press the red button to go UP or the green
button to go DOWN.
