Operating your Minivator stairlift
Operating the swivel
A swivel seat is provided to enable you to
mount/dismount the seat more easily at the top
of the stairs by swivelling you on to the landing.
To operate the seat swivel, wait until the stairlift
has stopped.
To swivel the seat hold either (there is one both
sides of the seat) swivel lever down or pull it up
(only up on the Simplicity or Simplicity
L
model).
This will release the seat lock and allow you to
move the seat round by pushing away from the
footplate. When the seat reaches 90 degrees it
will lock in position
(Figure 8)
.
You should not attempt to leave the seat until
it has firmly ‘clicked’ into its locked position.
To swivel in the opposite direction follow the same
procedure, but push away from the landing.
Emergency stop
In the event of an emergency the Stairlift and all
its powered features can be stopped by pressing
the emergency stop button.
The emergency stop button is the red button
located on the upside of the seat base, or
the control arm on a Simplicity or Simplicity
L
(Figure 7)
. When activated the button will light up.
The emergency stop button will completely
immobilise the lift. To restore normal operation
press the button for a second time.
