Parking the Stairlift
WHEN THE STAIRLIFT IS NOT IN USE IT
SHOULD BE MOVED AWAY FROM THE

and the Slide Track will move in the UP direction.
Continue to hold the UP button until the Slide
Track and stairlift are no longer causing an
obstruction. If you release the UP button the lift
or Slide Track will stop moving. To continue,
press and hold the UP button again. After a short
delay movement will start again.
