Seating Features

The seat assembly can swivel out in either direction. Lift up and hold the swivel
handle to swivel the seat out to a convenient position for transfer into or out of
the seat. For your safety, do not swivel the seat until the unit has stopped. The
seat can be adjusted up or down, as required.
The arms can be adjusted in or out, and the angle of the armrests can be
adjusted to allow for a more comfortable seating position. Technical assistance
is recommended to perform these adjustments.
When the stairlift is not in use, the seat. armrests, and footrest can be folded up
to allow for more space on the stairway.
Use the retractable seat belt to ensure that you are safely secured in the chair
during travel.

from the pathway and proceed in the original direction of travel.

Safety Switches

when it reaches the top or bottom of the stairway. There are mechanical stops
at the top and bottom of the rail to stop the lift in an over-travel situation.
There is also a safety switch for the swivel seat that will prevent the unit from
running if the seat is not in the riding position.

Emergency Stop Button (Optional)

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

Overspeed Brake (Optional)

normal downward travel speed is exceeded.
