7.3) Stairlift operated by attendant. FIG.13 If the person using the stairlift is not self-sufficient, it must be operated by an attendant, using the remote control board (Fig. 13) or the control board with spiral UP/DOWN BUTTONS cable (Fig. 14), depending on the customer’s request. The attendant must follow the stairlift from behind with respect to the moving direction.
When tripped, this device stops the stairlift. ATTENZIONE: in this case the stairlift remains locked out of use and an authorised VIMEC techni- cian must be called in to put it back into service. b) Bars and guard boards During use the platform (Fig.

15) ADJUSTING THE BEND ROLLERS FIG.57 Working on the bend with the lowest gradient (Fig. 56/a) set the bend rollers in contact with the rail (Fig. 56/b). After adjustment, tighten the roller fixing screws (Fig. 56/c) to a torque of 2 daNm. This adjustment will be maintained for the other bends.
17) FITTING THE OVER-RUN DEVICE CAMS - Fix the cam (Fig. 58/e - 59/e), on the rail 50 mm from the stairlift’s centre-line marked earlier. - Set the stairlift in the stop position (Fig. 58/a - 59/a) and mark the position of the stairlift’s centre-line on the - Tighten all screws when done.
18) CHECKING THE POSITION OF THE OVER-RUN FIG.60 UPPER DEVICE CAM AND PLATES FLOOR Before final testing of the stairlift, check that the limit stop (Fig. 60/a-61/a) is correctly positioned. This position is correct if the dimensions are as shown in the drawings in Fig.
- Check on fixing of the rail FIG.65 - Check that the rail is positioned in accordance with the dimensions stated in the installation drawing (or system layout) supplied with the stairlift. - Check that all the fixing screws of the connections to the mounts or any expansion plugs are stable and firmly tightened.
