2) OPERATING YOUR VIMEC V70
2.1) Key switch
Your Minivator stairlift is fitted with a key switch (Fig. 2).
The stairlift cannot be operated unless the key is
inserted and turned to the on position.
The keyswitch is provided to enable you to lock the
stairlift to prevent it being used by others (for example
children).
However, it can be left in the on position if desired.
If you remove your key for safety reasons, please
ensure you put it in a safe place.
If the keyswitch is turned off the lift will continue to
charge.
2.2) On/off switch
As well as a key switch your stairlift is fitted
with an on/off switch (Fig. 3) on the bottom, side panel
of the lift.
Ensure that this is left in the ‘ON’ position. The
fault diagnosis display panel will be illuminated to
indicate this.
If you intend to be away from home for a long period,
and decide to switch off the mains supply, it is important
that you also switch off the lift from this on/off switch.
This will ensure that the lift batteries will remain charged
while you are away.
2.3) Diagnostic display
The stairlift is fitted with a diagnostic display
(Fig. 3) that displays a code to help diagnose faults.
Refer to Appendix 3 for an explanation of the diagnostic
codes. If you
should experience a problem with your lift please
examine the display and make a ote
of any codes that are displayed.
Please inform the customer services operator of these
codes when reporting any faults.
2.4)Operating lever
Before using your stairlift, MOST IMPORTANTLY
please ensure the stairs are clear of other people, pets
or any objects which may obstruct your stairlift. Then
next, ensure that the arms, footplate and seat are folded
down for use to ensure your safety. (Fig. 4).
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR STAIRLIFT
ALWAYS FASTEN YOUR LAP BELT.
Your Vimec stairlift is operated by simply pressing and
holding the operating lever in the direction you wish to
