Pinnacle Stair Lift
Completion Procedures
A. TEST ARMREST CONTROL SWITCH
1. Ensure that the unit travels correctly by
operating the armrest control switch while
standing in front of the unit.
2. Depress the switch in the upstairs direction to
move up. The lift will begin to smoothly accelerate
upwards. The lift will continue to move upwards
as long as the switch is depressed.
3. Release the switch and the lift will come to an
immediate stop.
4. Depress the switch in the downstairs direction
to move down. The lift will begin to smoothly
accelerate downwards.
5. Release the switch and the lift will come to an
immediate stop.
6. Run the chair all the way up and down the
rail to ensure that the top of the seat back has
at least a 1/2" clearance from the wall and any
obstructions.
Do not ride on the chassis or lift
until the install is complete.
WARNING
B. TIGHTEN BRACKETS
1. Install and fully tighten the rail bracket
mounting screws (three (3) screws per bracket). For
hardwood stairs, a pilot hole should be drilled first.
For plywood or particle board stairs care must be
taken to prevent stripping.
C. SET UPPER AND LOWER TRAVEL LIMITS
1. Test the lower travel limit by operating the lift
downward, keeping the switch depressed. The unit
should begin to decelerate about 3" from its final
resting position and stop clear of the floor.

2. The final stopped position can be adjusted
to accommodate the height of the user by
repositioning the limit cam located in a slot in the rail.
3. Use a 5/64" Allen wrench to loosen the set screw
in the limit cam. Adjust the limit cam up or down and
retighten the set screws. Repeat the above steps until
the lift stops in the desired position.
4. Repeat the above steps to set the upper limits.
For safety, the footrest should be set at least level
with the upper landing.
5. The optimum position is met when the seat
height above the floor is the same at the top and
bottom of the stairs.
D. TEST SAFETY STOP SWITCHES
1. Safety stop switches are located in both the
upward and downward ends of the chassis
providing protection from obstructions on the rail.
2. Safety stop switches are located in the
footrest bottom pan providing protection from
obstructions and trapping hazards on the stairs.
3. A safety stop switch is part of the swivel seat
mechanism and prevents the lift from operating
when the swivel is in use.
4. Test all the safety stop switches by driving the
lift down and touching the downward end of the
chassis, the lower edge of the footrest, and the
underside of the footrest in both its folded and
unfolded positions.
5. In each of the above cases the unit should come
to an immediate halt. The LED indicator light on
the armrest control should turn to orange and the
unit should beep intermittently.
6. When the control switch is released, the unit
should NOT be able to be driven in the direction
that the lift initially engaged the obstacle. Test this
condition.
