winding procedure. Please follow these
steps:
1. Switch off the stairlift with the key.
2. Insert the emergency hand winding
knob (Figure 13).
3. Turn the knob in the direction indicated
for the required movement.
4. When the desired position is reached
remove the hand winder and switch the
lift on.

Trapped articles

Your stairlift is fitted with safety edges
on the bottom of the footrest and on the
lift itself that will stop the stairlift should
any article become trapped by
the footrest (Figure 14).
To remove the article reverse the stairlift
away from the object then have the
object removed from the staircase.
Proceed on your stairlift as normal.

Safety and servicing

We advise that your stairlift is serviced after the first 12 months and thereafter AT LEAST
EVERY 12 MONTHS.
This work must be carried out by a competent person, i.e. a Minivator approved dealer.
If in doubt, please contact the Minivator Service Department on 08700 118282.
If you own your stairlift and no longer require it your dealer or Minivator may be interested
in purchasing it.

Warnings and precautions

NEVER
Allow more than one person to use the stairlift at any one time.
The maximum carrying capacity is 137kg (211⁄2 Stone / 300lb). If you have a heavy duty
version the maximum capacity is 160kg (25 Stone / 350lb).
NEVER
Allow children to play on or with the stairlift.
NEVER
Allow water to come into contact with the components in the stairlift. If you have to
transport liquids DO SO WITH CARE.
NEVER
Place objects in the track or leave objects on the stairs, where they could come into contact
with the lift in operation. Your stairlift is fitted with pressure sensitive side edges and
undertray on the footplate, which will automatically stop the lift if it detects any
obstructions.
NEVER
Use the stairlift without using the lap belt, or any other safety belts or harnesses fitted.
NEVER
Use the stairlift in a standing position.
ALWAYS
Keep your FEET ON THE FOOTPLATE whilst the stairlift is in motion, and try to avoid your
feet hanging over the edges of the footplate.
NEVER
Swivel the seat until the lift has come to a stop at the top or bottom of the staircase.
ALWAYS
Fold the chair when it is not in use to avoid obstructing exits.
WARNING
If the overspeed governor is activated it should only be reset by a competent person, i.e. a
Minivator approved dealer. Activation of the overspeed governor is indicated by the lift not
being able to be driven down the stairs and the diagnostic display showing 0.
