9. Check for damage. Before use check the lift for external damage. Don't use the lift if
parts are defective or missing (e.g. track end caps of the slidetrack). Report unusual
noises, such as squeaking and creaking, to your supplier. To avoid accidents repairs
and preventive maintenance should only be carried out by engineers qualified to do so.
10.The stairlift must not be used in the event of a fire or as a means of escape during a fire.
11.If the stairlift is not fitted with a communication device, we recommend that you always
have one to hand.
Structure
The strength and the suitability in general of wall, staircases, terraces, upper floors,
banisters, plinths etc. which are to support or surround the installation have been verified
and ensured by the customer, who therefore accepts all relative responsibilities. Neither
Handicare nor its authorised dealers may be held responsible for the suitability of the
structures which surround and support the installation.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean the stairlift regularly with a damp cloth; avoid excessive use of water. Clean the rail
regularly with a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush. Ensure the track is kept free of dirt and
dust. Any dirt on the rail can easily be removed with a slightly damp cloth. Under no cir-
cumstances should you use cleaning product when cleaning the rail. The use of lubricant on
the rail is also not permitted. After a while, the wheels may leave marks on the rails.
Preventive maintenance
In addition to cleaning your stairlift, periodic preventive maintenance is necessary for
continued long-term use.
Your stairlift must be serviced at least once a year by a qualified person. If your stairlift
has more than two users we recommend a minimum of two services per year.
Please make an electrical socket available to provide local lighting if required during
inspection and servicing. Lighting to a minimum value of 50 lux shall be provided at the
boarding points whilst the stairlift is in use. Most light bulb packaging will detail the lux
value of the light bulb.
