Operating your Handicare stairlift
Before use
Before using your stairlift, MOST IMPORTANTLY
please ensure the stairs are clear of other people,
pets or any objects which may obstruct your
stairlift. Then ensure that the arms, footplate and
seat are folded down for use to ensure your
safety (Figure 1).
For your safety the stairlift will not operate
from the operating lever unless both arms
are in the down position.
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR
STAIRLIFT ALWAYS FASTEN
YOUR SAFETY BELT.
Users with poor upper body positioning or
control should have a body harness fitted.

Figure 1
As well as a key switch your stairlift is fitted with
an on/off switch (Figure 2). This switch is either
located on the lower front panel of the lift or on
the downside panel of the main body of the lift
depending on your particular model.
If you intend to be away from home for a long
period, and decide to switch off the mains supply,
it is important that you also switch off the lift from
this on/off switch.
This will ensure that the lift batteries will remain
charged while you are away.

Ensure that this is left in the 'ON' position.
The fault diagnosis display panel will be
