The lift is capable of transporting two people, one of whom could be a wheelchair user (excludes Stratum FE C). This lift is not intended for the transporting goods. The lift is designed to operate without a lift shaft and is provided with an automatic infill panel which makes the ceiling aperture safe when the lift is at the lower level.
GENERAL DO’S AND DON’TS • Never switch off the power supply to the lift, even when you go away. The lift control circuits are fed by a battery, which must be kept on constant charge. • The lift should always be returned to the lower level when not in use.

SMOKE ALARMS When installed on a Stratum FE Homelift, the smoke alarm system will cause the lift to deactivate safely once the alarm is triggered. When deactivated, the door will continue to operate as normal. When the Lift is stationary at either level If smoke is detected, the alarm will sound.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES In the event of a mains failure during travel, the battery backed control system of the Stratum FE Homelift will allow normal operation in the down direction without loss of any safety features. This allows the user to exit the car at the lower level in the normal way.

Emergency Manual Lowering IMPORTANT: During emergency manual lowering, the normal safety features will not function, so the lift will not stop if a person, pet or object is under the lift. The exact lowering procedure must be observed, because the normal safety features will not function during manual lowering.

FAULT FINDING The most likely causes of your lift failing to operate are: • The door not being fully closed. • An obstruction causing one or more of the safe edges (page 6) to operate, preventing travel. To assist in identifying the cause, the car is fitted with a simple system of coloured indicator lights on the rear panel, one red, two yellow and two green (Figure 8).
