Installation Instructions

Installing the Seat

The seat assembly now needs to be fitted to the seat post on the carriage.
Carry this out as follows:
Step 1
Fold up the seat arms and seat base.

Step 2
Fit Seat Index Plate Cover. Ensure that all wires are clear and will not become trapped.

Position the index plate as arrowed below.

Step 3
Position the seat on top of the seat post protruding from the chassis.

Step 4
With the seat facing across the stairs, hold the swivel locking handle down, and gently twist the seat from side to side, easing it downwards.

Do this until the seat will not lower any more, and check that the seat post appears flush with the top of the seat frame.

Step 5
Release the seat swivel lever and rotate the seat until it is locked into the normal riding position - facing across the stairs.

Step 6
Connect the electrical connection between the seat and the carriage, by pushing together the ‘DIN’ plugs, and screwing the collars to ensure a safe, permanent connection.

Step 7
Check that the key switch on the upper carriage safety pad is in the ‘ON’ position and that the seat is in a locked position facing across the stairs (see point 5).

When all parts are correctly located, the LED display will show ‘2′ and beep showing that the charging system is not yet connected to the mains. If other codes are displayed refer to the error codes in the User Manual.

Step 8
The stairlift can now be ‘driven’ downwards to locate the motor drive pinion on to the toothed rack on the rail. Operate the toggle switch on the chair arm towards downstairs (in the direction of travel).

The lift should cleanly locate on the rack and begin its first descent.

Step 9
Stop the lift 3 or 4 steps down and switch off the battery isolator switch.

This is to stop the ‘Batteries Off Charge’ warning signal.

Setting Top Stopping Point

Step 1
Replace the top stopping limit ramp; but do not fully tighten the screws at this point.
Step 2
Switch the power back on to operate the stairlift.

Run the stairlift back to the top of the stairs until it comes to a full stop.

Check how level the footrest is with the landing using the spirit level.
Step 3
If the footrest IS NOT level with the landing, run the stairlift down 3 / 4 stairs and stop.

Slide the stopping ramp up or down to a suitable postion.

Run the stairlift back to the top of the stairs and check to see if the footrest is level with the landing.
If not, repeat until correct.

When top stopping position is correct tighten the screws up on stopping ramp.
Step 4
Position the plastic rail end stop at the end of the gear rack and drill a 3mm hole into the aluminium rail. Secure using the screw provided.
In cases where it is necessary to cut the rail and gear rack to length, this plastic end stop will secure and prevent any possible movement of loose gear rack.
