Operating your Minivator Simplicity
Figure 2
Key switch
Your Minivator stairlift is fitted with a key
switch (Figure 2).
The stairlift cannot be operated unless the
key is inserted and turned to the on
position.
The keyswitch is provided to enable
you to lock the stairlift to prevent it
being used by others (for example
children).
However, it can be left in the on position if
desired.
If you remove your key for safety
reasons, please ensure you put it in a
safe place.
If the keyswitch is turned off the lift will
continue to charge.

Figure 3
On/off switch
As well as a key switch your stairlift is fitted
with an on/off switch (Figure 3) on the
bottom, side panel of the lift.
Ensure that this is left in the 'ON'
position. The fault diagnosis display
panel will be illuminated to indicate
this.
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.
