STAIRLIFT OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATION
CHARGING YOUR STAIRLIFT
When not in use,
please ensure that the
seatbelt is kept clear
of the stairlift rail.
The stairlift is moved up and down the
stairs by the user operating the direction
controller on the armrest. Arms must be
completely in the down position for the
stairlift to operate. The stairlift can still
be called with the remote controls with
the arms in any position.
The stairlift batteries are recharged from charging points when the stairlift is in its
parked position at the top and the bottom of the stairs or parking on an intermediate

their charge and the stairlift will not operate.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
It is imperative to ensure there is a continual supply of power
to the stairlift. The stairlift batteries can cover short-term
interruptions to the power supply, but without a supply of
power, will eventually become too low to be recharged. If this
happens, the batteries will have to be replaced by an engineer,
which is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and is
a chargeable service.
