Construction

Frame
The chair consists of a frame on which a seat and a back cushion are fitted. The armrests can be folded up so that it
is easier to get into and out of the chair. The chair can be fitted with straight or curved armrests, these are
interchangeable by pair. On a stairlift with a fixed chair or manual swivel seat, straight armrests are installed
standard. On a stairlift with a powered swivel seat system, the chair is fitted with curved armrests. This keeps the
space required for turning as small as possible.

Controls
In compliance with the CE approval, the armrest on the down-facing side of the stairs is fitted with a control unit. On
a stairlift with a left rail this is thus the right armrest and on a stairlift with a right rail this is the left armrest (also see
Section 2.3).
Chair height adjustment
The height of the chair can be adjusted to one of 4 positions (Tab 04 - Installation manual).
