STAIRLIFT OPERATION

PARKING AND RECHARGING

When not in use, it is vital that the unit is left on a charge point. The location of this
will depend upon which type of track is fi tted.
On a standard track, the correct positions are at the top or bottom where the unit
stops automatically. At these positions, the unit receives a power supply from the
mains/transformer that allows the unit to recharge its internal batteries. The lift will
make a single 'beep' to indicate that a charge point has been reached.
Note: If there is a mains electrical supply failure, or if the supply to your stairlift
is switched off , it will continue to work for several journeys. However, the
batteries will eventually lose their charge and the stairlift will not operate.
A DEDICATED POWER SOCKET MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR THE
STAIRLIFT. The mains electricity supply/transformer should be
left permanently connected and switched on.
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.
