SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using the stairlift always observe appropriate safety regulations regarding risk of electric shock and physical injury.
1.
Provide an unobstructed environment by ensuring that the entire track is free of obstacles.
2.
Take environmental influences into account. Do not expose the lift to damp or extreme sunlight. Make sure that
the environment is well lit. In case of outdoor lift: always put the cover over the lift when the lift is not in use.
3.
The stairlift should only be used by individuals who have received the appropriate guidance. On installation the
supplier is required to demonstrate how to use this stairlift and the user is required to sign the declaration
confirming that this instruction has been received.
4.
Stairlifts should only be used for carrying one person: do not use your stairlift to carry pets, goods or more than
one person at a time, even if the load is below the maximum user weight. Keep children and pets away from the
stairlift.
5.
Remove the key after use to prevent unauthorised use.
6.
Keep limbs and clothing away from moving parts. Make sure that wide or loose clothing cannot become
trapped between the chair and the stairs or rail.
7.
Ensure a safe position during use. Always ensure a correct, stable position. Please sit as far back in the seat as
you can and place your feet as close to the centre of the footplate as you are able to. Always use the safety belt
and never stand on the stairlift.
8.
Take care at all times. Concentrate on the operation of the stairlift as releasing the operating toggle will cause
the lift to stop. To restart the lift wait 3 seconds and push and hold the toggle in the direction of travel desired
until you reach the landing or hallway.
9.
Check for damage. Before use check the lift for external damage. Report unusual noises, such as squeaking
and creaking, to your supplier. To avoid accidents repairs and preventive maintenance should only be carried
out by engineers qualified to do so.
10.
The stairlift must not be used in the event of a fire or as a means of escape during a fire.
11.
If the stairlift is not fitted with a communication device, we recommend that you always have one to hand.
12.
Only leave the stairlift at the designated points at the top and bottom of the rail.

banisters, plinths etc. which are to support or surround the installation have been verified and ensured by the customer,
