Page 11: Installation Procedure
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1.2.1 Preparation on Site It is recommended that the following examinations be carried out prior to taking the rail into the end users’ property: Visually check the site making sure that all obstructions such as window sills, pipes, bulkheads, newel posts etc have been allowed for.
Page 12: Joining The Rail
1.2.2 Joining the Rail The stairlift rail is shipped in two pieces that are spliced together during installation. The upper and lower charge points and upper and lower stopping limit ramps are installed on the rail sections at the factory.
Page 13: Installing The Rail
The two rail sections now need to be ﬁxed together. IMPORTANT! Make sure that the wiring isn’t trapped between the edges of the rail preventing a ﬂush join. Re-tighten the pinch bolts to hold the joint-bar securely in place, using 2 x 10mm spanners. Replace the screw into the gear rack and back into the upper rail.
Page 14 Position the stair brackets underneath the rail - one on the ﬁrst step, one on the very top step or on the landing and the middle two either side of the join in the rail. The stair brackets clamp to the underside of the rail and are secured by tightening the long 13mm nut / bolt, which runs right through each bracket.

� 1.2.4 Installing the Stairlift Carriage Remove the adjustable upper stopping limit ramp moulding from the top end of the rail. � WARNING! Take care when handling the carriage assembly, as this is a heavy component. Insert plastic end pieces to Rail top for Carriage installation.

Remove yellow warning labels and transit screws attached to both upper and lower carriage safety edges then ﬁ...
Page 17: Setting Seat Angle
1.2.5 Setting Seat Angle The following procedure must be STRICTLY adhered to, to avoid damage to the chassis plates. Remove the footrest hinge cover by removing the screw. To remove main cover, remove the 2 screws that are located along the front bottom edge.
Page 18 Loosen the 6 horizontal bolts (3 either side) until the post can just move. Adjust the seat to the correct angle by placing a spirit level on the seat post platform. Ensure that the anti-slip clamps (butterﬂy brackets) are in the correct horizontal position.
Page 19: Setting Footrest Angle
Replace the carriage cover and replace the two screws. 1.2.6 Setting Footrest Angle Loosen the centre bolt and adjust to the correct level using the spirit level. Once level, tighten the bolt back up. Return the footrest hinge cover by replacing the screw.
Page 20: Installing The Seat
1.2.7 Installing the Seat The seat assembly now needs to be ﬁtted to the seat post on the carriage. Carry this out as follows: Fold up the seat arms and seat base. Fit Seat Index Plate Cover. Ensure that all wires are clear and will not become trapped.
Page 21 With the seat facing across the stairs, hold the swivel locking handle down, and gently twist the seat from side to side, easing it downwards. Do this until the seat will not lower any more, and check that the seat post appears ﬂush with the top of the seat frame.
Page 22 If other codes are displayed refer to the error codes in the User Manual. The stairlift can now be ‘driven’ downwards to locate the motor drive pinion on to the toothed rack on the rail.
Page 23: Setting Top Stopping Point
Slide the stopping ramp up or down to a suitable position. Run the stairlift back to the top of the stairs and check to see if the footrest is level with the landing. If not, repeat until correct.
Page 24: Fixing Down The Rail
There should be approximately 25mm between seat back and the wall to avoid trapping hazards. Adjust the clearance between the stairlift and the wall by moving the rail in or out appropriately. Once checked and ﬁnal position veriﬁed, screw the rail brackets down to the stairs using the screws provided (four per bracket).
