8) SAFETY SYSTEMS

8.1) Safety devices to prevent impacts and shearing
along the travel rails.
When in motion, the platform and the body of the stairlift
are protected by sensor edges which stop the stairlift if
it touches an obstacle of any kind - Fig. 5.
However, they do allow the stairlift to be moved in the
opposite direction to that in which the obstacle was
encountered, to allow removal of the obstruction.
8.2) Safety devices for the user.
a) Safety gear - Fig. 6/a.
The stairlift is equipped with a gradual action mechani-
cal safety gear. It is tripped if the drive components fail,
or if the normal downward travel speed is exceeded by
a pre-set amount.
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. 11/d) is protected by
two bars (Fig. 11/a) about 100 cm above the platform
