2.10) Emergency hand winding
instructions
In the unlikely event that the lift has a total power

emergency hand winding procedure. Please follow
these steps:
1. Switch off the stairlift with the key.
2. Insert the emergency hand winding knob (Fig. 15).
3. Turn the knob in the direction indicated for the
required movement.
4. When the desired position is reached remove the
hand winder and switch the lift on.
If in any doubt contact your local Vimec approved
dealer or service centre.
2.11) Trapped articles
Your stairlift is fitted with safety edges on the bottom of
the footrest and on the lift itself that will stop the stairlift
should any article become trapped by the footrest
(Fig. 16).
To remove the article reverse the stairlift away
from the object then have the object removed from
the staircase. Proceed on your stairlift as normal.
