Completion Procedures

STEP 4:

 Repeat the above steps to set the upper limits. For safety, the footrest should be set at least level with the 

upper landing.

STEP 5:

 The optimum position is met when the seat height above the floor is the same at the top and bottom of the stairs.

D. TEST SAFETY STOP SWITCHES

STEP 1:

 Safety stop switches are located in both the upward and downward ends of the chassis providing protection 

from obstructions on the rail.

STEP 2:

 Safety stop switches are located in the footrest bottom pan providing protection from obstructions and 

trapping hazards on the stairs.

STEP 3:

 A safety stop switch is part of the swivel seat mechanism and prevents the lift from operating when the 

swivel is in use.

STEP 4:

 Test all the safety stop switches by driving the lift down and touching the downward end of the chassis, the 

lower edge of the footrest, and the underside of the footrest in both its folded and unfolded positions.

STEP 5: 

In each of the above cases the unit should come to an immediate halt. The LED indicator light on the armrest 

control should turn to orange and the unit should beep intermittently.

STEP 6:

 When the control switch is released, the unit should NOT be able to be driven in the direction that the lift 

initially engaged the obstacle. Test this condition.

STEP 7: 

Test to ensure that the lift can only be driven away from the obstruction. The LED indicator light will turn to 

green and stop beeping indicating a safe operating condition.

STEP 8:

 Repeat the above tests while driving the lift in opposite direction.

STEP 9:

 If any safety condition does not function properly, carefully review all installation instructions, reset the “ON /

OFF” switch and check that the LED indicator light is green. Repeat the above tests.

STEP 10:

 If any safety stop switch fails to immediately stop the lift and/or a red LED indicator light appears, remove 

the key to prevent further use of the lift and immediately call the manufacturer for assistance in diagnosing and 
repairing the problem. 

DO NOT USE THE LIFT.
