3. FEATURES

Seating Features

The seat assembly can swivel in either direction. To swivel the seat for transfer

in or out of the seat, lift up and hold the swivel lever (located on either side of

the seat). When you let go of the lever, the seat will lock in position. For your

safety, do not swivel the seat until the unit has stopped.

When the stairlift is not in use, the seat, armrests, and footrest can be folded up

to allow for more space on the stairway.

Always use the retractable seat belt to ensure that you are safely secured in the

chair during travel.

Safety Features

Footrest and Carriage Sensors

There are safety edge sensors on the sides of the footrest and the carriage, and

an underpan sensor on the bottom of the footrest. These sensors will stop the

stairlift if an obstruction is encountered on the stairway.

If you encounter an obstruction, press the opposite side of the toggle switch to

run the stairlift in the opposite direction. Remove the obstacle from the

pathway and proceed in the original direction of travel.

Safety Switches

There are upper and lower safety limit switches to stop the stairlift when it

reaches the top or bottom of the stairway. There are also mechanical stops at

the top and bottom of the rail to stop the lift in an over-travel situation.

A safety switch for the swivel seat prevents the stairlift from running if the seat

is not locked in the riding position.

Emergency Stop Button (Optional)

There is an optional emergency stop button that would be located on the arm.

Pressing this button will stop the unit immediately.

Overspeed Brake (Optional)

There is an optional overspeed brake that will engage and stop the lift if the

normal downward travel speed is exceeded.
