WARNING Be aware of hidden dangers Finally ensure all rail dimensions are in such as; wiring, accordance with the rail installation drawing. pipework, etc. Carry out any final adjustment to the bases as required using the 3 x Grub Screws then tighten once the rail position is correct.
Mounting the Charger Power Supply Charging Unit Power Output Cable Find a suitable power supply as close as possible to either the top or bottom of the stairs. Mount the charger in a suitable position near the power supply using the screws supplied. Please ensure the charger is mounted level and secure.
Carriage Preperation and Assembly Seat and Armrest Carriage and Footrest Unpack all the pre-assembled units from their packaging, taking care not to place the carriage on the floor, avoiding damage. Your carriage will arrive already pre-assembled as either a manual swivel option or powered swivel option as per your order.
Installing the Batteries Remove the front panel by unscrewing the 4 main screws. Fig. 1 Once you’re have inserted the batteries consult fig. 2, making sure the battery circuit is correct. Fig. 2 C A R R I A G E P R E P A N D A S S E M B LY...
Loading onto the Rails Insert the long loading bar into the top skate of the carriage and Fig. 1 insert the small cone stopper in the bottom rail tube. Loading Bar At the top of the stairs lift the carriage with the loading strap and insert the loading bar into the top rail tube, slowly run the carriage along until the small...
Connect Seat Base with Arms to Carriage 2x Long Screws 2x Short Screws You can now begin to install the seat to the carriage. Fig. 1 Line the holes up on the seat frame down to the boss plate below. Fix with the 2 shorter bolts towards the front of the seat, the 2 longer ones to the back.
Running the Chair On Switch on the lift by pressing the orange switch ON the front of the carriage to the ON position. Remove the PCB cover for access to the programming buttons and to have a clearer view of the LCD screen. The lift should already come set up correctly ready for programming, but this can be checked by going through the menu function on the screen.

The lift will not run unless in program mode or already programmed to the rail. This is how you put the lift into PROGRAM mode: Press the scroll button until you see ‘POSITION’ (this is the first option you come to if scrolling from the home screen), then press and HOLD the scroll button and this will change to ‘Program LO 1500’...
Install Rail Charge Points Return to the rail and fit the charge points to both the top and bottom connecting the core cable at both ends, use the diagram in the installation guide to ensure correct polarity (+ to the lower charging strip and - to the top) once you are happy with the positions fasten the final end stop brackets at the top and...
Calibrate and Programming Below is breakdown and explanation of each of the menu options shown on the display when using the scroll / adjust button. The home screen will show lift status, for example, ‘LIFT READY’ or ‘OFF CHARGE’ before you scroll through the menu, the display will automatically go back to the lift status after 5 seconds of neither button being pressed.

This option is to set up whether the lift has a manual or powered swivel. MANUAL / POWERED When the lift has an Intermediate Charging Point (INT. CP) the lift will always park here from the remote controls, but you have the option for the joystick, PASS – to always pass the charge point when using the joystick (when the lift only requires PASS / STOP the charge point STOP –...

This logs how many the trips the lift has made. This cannot be reset. NO FUNCTION This is used for factory assembly ONLY. NO FUNCTION The PCB will record each fault / safety switch ever activated on the unit. These can be reset once repaired or serviced. RESET FAULT COUNT PRESS ON EACH FAULT Used to determine the current software version of the PCB.
Program the Stair Lift Put the lift into Program mode and begin to run it down the bottom charge point, making sure the charger is turned on before making contact. If you have an intermediate charge point, turn the charger on when you are below this so that the bottom charge point is the first inwhich the lift detects.

The ‘LO’ shown on the screen is the speed the lift will travel after programming. Press the adjust button to change to ‘HI’ to program the lift to full speed. The speed can be changed at any point on the lift as you travel up to the top charge point by pressing the adjust button again to select between ‘HI’...
Programming the Bend Slowing Function (optional) Note: To program using the slowing function The Infinity Press ‘Adjust’ Stair Lift must be programmed using following the steps: to move to ‘HI’ 1. Once Programmed as described on pages 19-21 2. Move off the first charge point 3.
Remote Control Remote Wall Mount Insert Batteries The remotes will need to be programmed to the lift. The process is as follows; Turn the lift off/on again. Within the first 5 minutes of the lift being switched back on, press and hold the reset button (using a small blunt item such as a paper clip) on the remote control for 3 seconds then press any directional button and the remote will be paired.
Troubleshooting and Safety Here we are going to quickly check the stopping safety features: First move the stair lift to a convenient position Now run the stair lift placing your hand in front of each sensor individually running the lift both up and down the rails.

Manual Override Manually insert the winding handle into the hole located on the left side of the carriage and locate the winding mechanism. Engage the winding mechanism and manually turn the handle. To release the over-speed governor (OSG) wind the stairlift in the upwards direction to release the OSG arm.
Reset the OSG Run the lift upwards with the manual override, the OSG should come loose from the tube then. Make sure that the OSG is in neutral position again. The unit does not need re-programming. T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G A N D S A F E T Y...
The Display Diagnostic The Display Diagnostics feature that can inform the engineer of any problems that The Infinity stair lift has encountered during installation or in general use. Depending on the problem the Infinity diplays a selection of error messages to indicate what the problem is enabling the engineer to pinpoint the fault and resolve quickly without the need of elimination of other potential faults.

Lift is Drawing too Relay is Sticking Much Current on Main PCB Check rack / pinion is clear for the lift to move. Gently tap the relay to free the mechanism, if this doesn’t work, a new PCB will be required. Check the lift has not hit the overrun plate on the End stops.
Demonstration and Handover Demonstration User Booklet Explanation Paperwork Completion User Safety 1: Ask user to stand clear of the stairlift making sure that they have a clear view of the lift. 2: Demonstrate the operation of the seat and footrest (manual or powered if fitted); advise the user to stand clear of the footrest to avoid the footrest coming into contact with the users legs.
