Power operated swivel optional)
In order to swivel the seat hold the operating
toggle in the up direction. When the stairlift
reaches the top of the stairs continue to hold the
operating toggle in the up direction. The stairlift
will beep three times and then the seat will swivel.
When the seat is fully swivelled to 90 degrees the
seat will stop.
You should not attempt to leave the seat until
it is fully rotated.
To swivel in the opposite direction follow the
same procedure in reverse. Push the operating
lever in the down direction. The seat will beep
three times and then after a short pause it will
rotate to the driving position. Continue to hold
the operating lever in the down direction. The
stairlift will then again beep three times before
beginning its descent.
PLEASE NOTE:
In an emergency, should the power swivel fail to
operate, a red emergency swivel lever is attached
to the downside of the lift. The emergency lever
should be twisted to break the anti-tamper seal
and must be held in place to operate the swivel
mechanism Figure 9).
YOU SHOULD REPORT A FAILURE IN THE
POWER SWIVEL MECHANISM IMMEDIATELY
