Items required:
Tools required:
• Magnets
• Superglue
The procedure for the installation of an inside
curve track is identical to that of an external
curve track with the following additions.
1
Once the track has been assembled and fixed
to the stairs it is necessary to fit magnets at
the beginning and end of each bend in the
track. This magnet will be detected by a reed
switch on the power pack trunnion. It will slow
the lift down as it approaches a bend and
then speed it up as it exits the bend.
a
Position the magnets on the bottom track
(Figures 47 and 48)
.
b
Drive the lift from the bottom of the track
up the stairs. The lift should slow down as
it enters the bend (passes the first magnet)
and speed up again when it exits the bend
(passes the second magnet). If the lift does
not behave as expected send it back to the
bottom of the stairs, reverse the polarity of
both magnets and retest.
c
Once tested and aligned correctly
superglue the magnets into place.
Note:
The polarity of the magnets can be
identified as shown in
Figure 49
. The polarity
must be opposite at the entrance and exit of
the bend.
Note:
Ensure that the bolt is parallel to the
track
(Figure 49)
.
NOTE: THE MAGNETS MUST BE PLACED
IN THE CORRECT POSITIONS TO ENSURE
THE SAFE TRAVEL OF THE STAIRLIFT.
