11.If the stairlift is not fitted with a communication device, we recommend that you always
have one to hand.
12. Only leave the stairlift at the designated points at the top and bottom of the rail.
Structure
The strength and the suitability in general of wall, staircases, terraces, upper floors,
banisters, plinths etc. which are to support or surround the installation have been verified and
ensured by the customer, who therefore accepts all relative responsibilities. Neither Handicare nor
its authorised dealers may be held responsible for the suitability of the structures which surround
and support the installation.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean the stairlift regularly with a damp cloth; avoid excessive use of water. Ensure the
track is kept free of dirt and dust. Over time the track wheels may leave a mark on the rail.
Preventive maintenance
In addition to cleaning your stairlift, periodic preventive maintenance is necessary for
continued long-term use.
Your stairlift must be serviced at least once a year by a qualified person. If your stairlift
has more than two users we recommend a minimum of two services per year.
Please make an electrical socket available to provide local lighting if required during
inspection and servicing. Lighting to a minimum value of 50 lux shall be provided at the
boarding points whilst the stairlift is in use. Most light bulb packaging will detail the lux
value of the light bulb.
