Mains Power Switch The stairlift should be plugged in at the nearest mains socket. This could be at the top or bottom of the stairs. The lift needs to be plugged in and switched on at all times. When the power is on, a green indicator light will be shown on the power supply, mounted nearby.
Swivel Seat For safety, the seat (10) is locked into one of two positions. In the normal travel position, the seat will be locked into position with your back parallel to the track. This is so you do not catch your feet on the steps during travel. The lift will not travel unless the the seat is locked into this position.
Charging Points (15) The stairlift is powered by large internal batteries. These are charged when the stairlift is not in use. Charging points are located at the top and bottom of the track. The lift MUST be parked on a charging point when not in use.
Getting On the Chair: Manually fold down the Footrest (8). If powered footrest option fitted, press and hold powered footrest switch until footrest is completely down. The switch is located under opposite armrest to main direction joystick. Fold down the seat pad (10) and ensure that the seat is swivelled into the correct position so you can sit on it safely.
