their charge and the stairlift will not operate.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
It is imperative to ensure there is a continual supply of power
to the stairlift. The stairlift batteries can cover short-term
interruptions to the power supply, but without a supply of
power, will eventually become too low to be recharged. If this
happens, the batteries will have to be replaced by an engineer,
which is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and is
a chargeable service.

for 60 seconds and stop entering hibernation mode. The stairlift will beep
intermittently every 20 seconds and the fault indicator will go blank..
To ensure that the batteries are kept fully charged, the mains electricity
supply should always be switched on and the stairlift parked on its
charge points. The symbol will display C1 when charging or C4 when fully

The Acorn 180 Curved Stairlift is a modular system, designed for easy assembly
and maintenance utilising the rack and pinion method of travel along the rail,
which is still the most reliable system available. This method is used with
customer safety paramount throughout design and manufacture. You may
experience some small bumps or jolts during use of the stairlift; this is normal
for this type of technology
