4 SAFETY DEVICES The Alpha stairlift is equipped with the following safety features: Armrests The armrests, which must be closed (horizontal) or folded up while driving empty, prevent falling from the chair and act as support for getting in and out of the chair in the landings.
4.8 Battery charging system The drive motor of your Alpha stairlift is powered by batteries which are charged via a charger. Charging takes place at each stop via charging contacts. When the stairlift is not in use, it is therefore necessary to always park the stairlift in the landing.
