SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using the stairlift always observe appropriate safety regulations regarding risk of electric shock and physical injury.
1. Provide an unobstructed environment by ensuring that the entire track is free of obstacles. Keep the rail free from oil and ice.
2. Take environmental infl uences into account. Do not expose the lift to damp or extreme sunlight. Make sure that the environment is
well lit.
3. The stairlift should only be used by individuals who have received the appropriate guidance. On installation the supplier is required
to demonstrate how to use this stairlift and the user is required to sign the declaration confi rming that this instruction has been
received.
4. Stairlifts should only be used for carrying one person: do not use your stairlift to carry pets, goods or more than one person at a time,
even if the load is below the maximum user weight. Keep children and pets away from the stairlift.
5. Remove the key after use to prevent unauthorised use.
6. Keep limbs and clothing away from moving parts. Make sure that wide or loose clothing cannot become trapped between the chair
EN and the stairs or rail.
7. Ensure a safe position during use. Always ensure a correct, stable position. Please sit as far back in the seat as you can and place
your feet as close to the centre of the footplate as you are able to. Always use the safety belt and never stand on the stairlift.
8. Take care at all times. Concentrate on the operation of the stairlift as releasing the operating toggle will cause the lift to stop.
To restart the lift wait 3 seconds and push and hold the toggle in the direction of travel desired until you reach the landing or hallway.
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 qualifi ed to do so.
10.The stairlift must not be used in the event of a fi re or as a means of escape during a fi re.
11.If the stairlift is not fi tted 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 fl oors, banisters, plinths etc. which are to support or sur-
round the installation have been verifi ed and ensured by the customer, who therefore accepts all relative responsibilities. Neither Handi-
care 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 circumstances should you use cleaning product when cleaning the rail.
IMPORTANT: FRICTION DRIVE - DO NOT APPLY LUBRICANT/GREASE TO RAIL 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 qualifi ed 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.
