Routine care and maintenance

Battery care
and charging
Your Minivator stairlift is battery powered and
will continue to work for a period of time even
if you have a power cut. You should normally
be able to travel up and down the stairs at least
10 times without needing to charge the batteries.
Particularly in the event of a power cut, however
you should always ensure that there is sufficient
light to allow safe travel, and especially at each
end of the track where you get on and off the lift.
Your stairlift track is fitted with charging points,
normally at the top and bottom of the staircase.
Your stairlift should be left on one of these
charging points when not in use to ensure that
the batteries are charged. If the stairlift makes
a beeping noise and/or the display show a "2"
when it is left on a charging point and it is not
in use IT IS NOT CHARGING. Please check that
the power supply for the stairlift is switched on.
If it is switched on and the beeping continues
please contact your dealer or the Handicare
Service Department on +44 (0) 8700 118282.
WARNING
If you are leaving the stairlift unattended
for a long period of time and the power
supply is turned off you MUST turn the
main on/off switch on the stairlift to the off
position to prevent damage to your batteries
see page 4). Failure to do so could cause
permanent damage to the batteries and
require them to be replaced.
Maintenance
There are no user serviceable parts fitted to your
stairlift. If any damage is visible or your stairlift
sounds or behaves unusually contact Handicare or
your approved dealer immediately. We advise that
your stairlift is serviced after the first 12 months
and thereafter AT LEAST EVERY 12 MONTHS.

Care and cleaning

Before cleaning any part of your Minivator stairlift,
please ensure you have removed the key.
Your Minivator stairlift is manufactured from a
variety of materials, all with easy "wipe clean"
surfaces. The seat and body covers can be wiped
over with a damp, NOT WET, cloth and a small
quantity of washing up liquid.
PLEASE DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, bleach
or solvent based cleaners, as these will damage
the seat.
To clean the track, first send the stairlift to the
top of the stairs. The track can be cleaned with
a damp cloth. When most of the track is clean,
move the stairlift to the bottom of the stairs and
finish cleaning the track making sure that none
of the cleaning debris falls on to it.
To maintain your Minivator stairlift in good
mechanical order, it is recommended that annual
services are carried out by qualified service
engineers.
Disposal
of your stairlift
Your stairlift has been manufactured using high
quality materials and components, which can be
recycled and reused.
The crossed out wheeled bin symbol
indicates that your stairlift is covered
by the European Directive 2002/96/EC,
which governs the disposal of waste
electrical and electronic equipment.
This means that your stairlift should not be
disposed of as household waste but should
be appropriately disposed of for recycling.
Recycling this product will help to protect the
environment by ensuring that all materials
contained in the stairlift are appropriately handled.
