Safety Features

Footrest and Carriage Sensors

There are safety edge sensors on the sides of the footrest and the carriage, and
an underpan sensor on the bottom of the footrest. These sensors will stop the
stairlift if an obstruction is encountered on the stairway.
If you encounter an obstruction, press the opposite side of the toggle switch to
run the stairlift in the opposite direction. Remove the obstacle from the
pathway and proceed in the original direction of travel.

Safety Switches

There are upper and lower safety limit switches to stop the stairlift when it
reaches the top or bottom of the stairway. There are also mechanical stops at
the top and bottom of the rail to stop the lift from running off the rail.
There is also a safety switch for the swivel seat that will prevent the stairlift from
running if the seat is not locked in the riding position.

Emergency Stop Button (Optional)

There is an optional emergency stop button that may be located on the arm.
Pressing this button will stop the unit immediately.

Overspeed Governor

There is an overspeed governor that will engage and stop the lift if the normal
downward travel speed is exceeded.
