obstruotions suoh as window sills, pipes,
bulkheads, newel posts eto have been
allowed for.
2. Lxamine the stairs, remove any removable
objeots that may get damaged or oould oause
a tripping hazard when the rail is brought into
the property.
lf the stalrway ls oen lan or there ls access to the rear of the
lnstallatlon (not agalnst a wall), then the lnstallatlon must not go
ahead untll the access has been anelled off.


3. ldentify existing damage to:
Leoorations
lloor ooverings, furniture and
other furnishings

1.2.2 Jolnlng the Rall
1he stairlift rail is shipped in two pieoes that are splioed together during installation.
1he upper and lower oharge points and upper and lower stopping limit ramps are installed
on the rail seotions at the faotory.
Before osltlonlng, lt ls recommended, whenever osslble, to joln the
rall together at the base of the stalrway maklng assembly easy.


1. 0n the bottom rail, loosen the 3 pinoh bolts and slide out the 1 inoh square
joint-bar until it protrudes approximately 4 inohes. 1ighten the 3 pinoh bolts.

2. 0n the upper seotion of the rail, temporarily
remove the sorew from where the gear raok
will go when fully assembled.
3. Conneoted to the lower oharge point and
running through the inside of the lower rail
seotion is a two wire oable that terminates
with two female wire oonneotors.
Conneot the male and female wire
oonneotors of the rail oable together
(brown to brown, blue to blue).

5. Re-tighten the pinoh bolts to hold
the joint-bar seourely in plaoe,
using 2 x 10mm spanners.
Replaoe the sorew into the gear
raok and baok into the upper rail.
bo not remove the handrall untll the rall has been lnstalled,
ln case of mls-measure , abort.
1.2.3 lnstalllng the Rall
1. Position the rail as one oomplete assembly on the stairoase, with the lower

Correot operation of the stairlift, troubleshooting prooedures
and a desoription of the safety features must be demonstrated
to the end user prior to hand over.
ou should observe the user using the stairlift onoe upwards
and onoe downwards A1 LA51 until you are oertain that they
are able to use it safely.
lf the user is unable to operate the stairlift oorreotly and safely, the stairlift should be
removed, unless it is to be operated by an attendant. ln this oase, the attendant should
be present at the installation.
1.6 Malntenance (lf appllcable)
Lnsure that the purohaser is informed of requirements for the examination,

1he installer should not prooeed with an installation if, for any reason,
it is oonsidered unsafe.
lf the user exoeeds the 3afe working Load of 127Kg, (300lbs or 20 stones)
the installation should not prooeed.
lf any of the tnal safety oheoks fail, they should be repaired and re-tested before
the stairlift is put into servioe. Under no clrcumstances should any safety
feature be overrldden or dlsabled.
ln the event that there is no wall or solid vertioal surfaoe behind the stairlift in
its intended position, or on an open plan stairway the installation should not
