Operating The Swivel - Handicare SIMPLICITY Serie Manual Del Usuario

Operating the swivel

A swivel seat is provided to enable you to
mount/dismount the seat more easily at the top
of the stairs by swivelling you on to the landing.
To operate the seat swivel, wait until the stairlift
has stopped.
To swivel the seat hold either (there is one both
sides of the seat) swivel lever down or pull it up
(only up on the Simplicity 950 model). This will
release the seat lock and allow you to move the
seat round by pushing away from the footplate.
When the seat reaches 90 degrees it will lock in
position.
You should not attempt to leave the seat until
it has firmly 'clicked into its locked position.
To swivel in the opposite direction follow the same
procedure, but push away from the landing.
Power operated swivel optional)
If your stairlift is fitted with an optional power
operated swivel there is no need to use the
swivel levers fitted. In order to swivel the seat
hold the operating toggle in the up direction.
When the stairlift reaches the top of the stairs
continue to hold the operating toggle in the up
direction. The stairlift will beep three times and
then the seat will swivel. When the seat is fully
swivelled to 90 degrees the seat will stop.
You should not attempt to leave the seat until
it is fully rotated.
To swivel in the opposite direction follow the
same procedure in reverse. Push the operating
lever in the down direction. The seat will beep
three times and then after a short pause it will
rotate to the driving position. Continue to hold
the operating lever in the down direction. The
stairlift will then again beep three times before
beginning its descent.
PLEASE NOTE:
In an emergency, should the power swivel fail to
operate the levers may be used in the same way
as the standard model.
