Introduction 

This assembly instruction is designed to assist you during the installation of the platform stair lift PLG7. 
Although the information and photographs printed in this manual illustrate a particular stair lift, the 
description is still relevant for all other installations. 
Please note that this manual contains instructions for the installation of parts and equipment which are not 
supplied with all our lifts (optional extras). 
 
The instructions in this assembly manual describe equipment and tools which were available at the time of 
writing. Due to the continuous development of our products, we reserve the right to alter the contents and 
technical data without consultation or prior warning. 
 
This part of the user manual is dedicated to trained installation technicians who are used to the installation of 
this product.

Notes for installation  

 

The installation of the platform stair lift may only be carried out by the trained personal of an 
Ascendor partner. 

 

This manual is designed to assist you with the installation and especially during the installation of the 
travel rails of the stair lift. 

 

The travel rails of the stair lift may not be altered (extended or shorted). 

 

The stability of the walls, onto which the stair lift is to be mounted, must be assessed on site by a 
qualified fitter. Ascendor accepts no responsibility and liability for this work. 

 

The exact installation dimensions are clearly specified in the drawing delivered with each stair lift and 
must be observed at all times. 

 

A 230 V power socket or supply cable L/N/PE 3x1,5mm² must be either present or fitted at one of the 
two lift stations (upper or lower station) during the installation. 

1.3

 

Specific demands on the installation fitters 

The installation fitters must be employed and trained by an Ascendor approved partner. 
 
The fitters must be able to assess on site the load bearing capabilities of the walls and supporting elements to 
which the lift and its equipment will be attached. They must be capable of reading and understanding the 
provided installation drawings. 
 
Ascendor accepts no responsibility or liability for this work.
