14) POST-INSTALLATION CHECKS

- Check that all the lift's microswitches are correctly
positioned and functioning correctly, with reference
to the electrical wiring diagrams provided.
- Also check that all the controls are operating cor-
rectly.
a) Safety devices
Make sure that on contact with an obstacle the anti-
shearing sensors stop the lift, and the anti-collision
sensors stop the lift and allow it to be restarted in the
opposite direction.
Check that the limit switches stop the lift in the required
positions at the floors.
b) Electromagnetic brake
The electromagnetic brake on the engine must stop
the lift with maximum working load before the final
limit switch is tripped. If necessary, replace the whole
brake unit.
c) Mechanical drive components
Check that the drive sprocket teeth and the lift's plastic
wheels are not worn or damaged. There must be no
scoring or flattening of the wheels. Check the chain
for wear.
d) Safety gear unit
Check that the hook operates freely without friction or
excessive play, and trips the safety microswitch cor-
rectly.
To check that the safety gear is operating correctly,
proceed as follows:
- Move the stairlift away from the floor (1-2 metres).
- Cut off the electricity by turning the master switch to
OFF.
- Remove the protective panel (Fig. 1/d).
- Press the safety gear hook with a plastic/wooden
rod.
WARNING: Keep well away from all unpro-
tected moving parts.
- Restore the power supply and press the down button
until the hook engages. The stairlift will stop when the
hook depresses the safety microswitch.
- Reset the safety gear by moving the stairlift upward
by hand.
e) Stability of the rail
Check all the fixing screws which connect the rail to its
mounts and any expansion plugs used.
f) General checks
Check all moving parts, the guards, labels and signs.
Check the batteries and warning lights of both power
supply units.
