FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Read and understand the operating instructions, and all safety precautions prior to
using the Elite Stairlift.
• Be sure stairs are clear of objects before operating the stairlift.
• Always be aware of the surface onto which you are stepping as you get on and off the stairlift.
• Avoid carrying items with you on the stairlift which could hinder movement of the lift up and
down the stairs.
• Do not wear LOOSE clothing that could interfere with lift movement.
• Fasten your positioning belt before operating the stairlift.
• Make sure the seat is locked in the correct riding position.
• Be sure that the seat swivel path is clear before swiveling in or out of the ride position, and
before repositioning the seat.
• Be certain the seat swivel is locked in place before attempting to get on or off the stairlift.
• Remove the key after turning off the Elite to prevent accidental operation due to someone or
something coming in contact with the key.
• NON-AMBULATORY USERS: We recommend carrying a cellular or cordless
telephone or an emergency communication device when riding the stairlift whilst alone in the
house.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
Each stairlift is designed to descend the stairway at a slightly slower speed than is the
case when travelling UP.
The footrest is equipped with safety edges which stop the carriage if an obstacle is
encountered on the stairs.
If this should occur, press the opposite side of the UP/DOWN rocker control switch (on
the armrest) to run the carriage in the opposite direction. Clear the obstacle from the
stairs or rail then resume travel in the desired direction.
Your Elite Stairlift is battery powered and will continue to operate for some time during a
power failure. The length of operation will depend on the battery condition, the length of
the stairs and the weight of the rider.
Only in the event of a prolonged power failure (more than one hour) will it be necessary
to turn the power off (circuit breaker switch on the carriage) and unplug the charger from
the wall socket to conserve battery charge.
The power swivel seat option is equipped with current overload sensing to prevent
further seat swivel if a jam is detected.
The power footrest option is equipped with current overload sensing that will cause
the footrest to return to its last position if a jam is detected.

CIRCUIT BREAKER
The Elite includes an ON/OFF switch with a
built-in circuit breaker located on the back
side of the carriage.
The circuit breaker protects the battery,
controller and motor circuits in the stairlift
carriage.
It is unlikely that this circuit breaker will trip
during normal use. However, if the stairlift
becomes inoperative, check the circuit breaker
as a rst troubleshooting step. Reset it, if
necessary.
Possible causes of circuit breaker tripping:
• foreign object jamming the rail or gear
rack;
• exceeding the rated weight capacity of the
stairlift.

SEATING
seat swivel lever
(one on each armrest)
UP/DOWN
rocker switch
The seat assembly on the Elite is designed to
swivel 90 degrees (with standard armrests), and
to lock in one of the following positions:
0, 60, and 90 degrees at the top,
and (optional) 45 degrees at the bottom*.
Pull up on either the right- or left-side swivel
lever located under the seat to swivel the seat to
a convenient position for transferring into or out of
the seat.
Once you release the swivel lever, the seat will
lock in the closest of the three positions indicated
above.
To lower the seat assembly from a folded-up
position, simply push down on the seat cushion
to lower it to the riding position.
* If you have the power swivel option, the seat will
swivel from 0-90 degrees only at the top of the
stairway.

OPERATION
The Elite includes a
“soft-start” feature
which prevents the
unit from moving
abruptly the instant
the UP/DOWN switch
is pressed.
Press and hold the
switch for a moment
to begin the gentle
acceleration of the
stairlift to operating
speed.
STANDARD SWIVEL SEAT
1. Turn the carriage keyswitch to ON.
2. At the top of the stairs, swivel the seatl
a. Position yourself in the seat.
b. Fasten the positioning belt.
c. Rotate the seat so that you are at right
angles to the rail (with your back to
the stairway wall).
A safety switch prevents operation of the
Elite unless the seat is locked in
position at right angles to the rail (the
“riding” position).
3. Position both feet securely on the footrest and
place your arms on the armrest cushions.
4. Press and hold the rocker switch (located
on the front edge of one of the armrests) to
travel UP / DOWN the rail.
Depressing and holding the rocker
switch will cause the carriage to
move until the carriage stops
automatically at the upper or lower
end of the stair rail, or until the
switch is released.

the rocker switch.
6. Swivel the seat to prepare for exiting the
unit.
7. Unbuckle the positioning belt and
carefully exit the seat.
8. Swivel the empty seat back to its

Two (2) remote call / send
transmitters enable you
to move the carriage to or
from either end of the stair
rail.
Remote call / send
transmitters are designed
to call / send an empty
seat only! The transmitters
are NOT designed to move
a seat with a person on
board.

rocker switch again on the same side.
7. Release the rocker switch when you have fully
rotated out.
8. Unbuckle the positioning belt and carefully exit
the seat.
NOTES:
• You may use the remote call/send transmitters
to return the rotated power seat back to the ride
position.
• If the unit stops unexpectedly while traveling,
check for obstructions or excessive loading. You
will only be able to run the unit in the opposite
direction until the overload is cleared.

OPERATION POWER FOOTREST
If your unit is equipped with an optional power
footrest, follow the operating instructions indicated
below.
1. Raise the seat to raise the footrest to its stored
position.
2. Lower the seat to lower the footrest to the ride
position.
NOTES:
• Do not try to manually raise or lower the footrest.
Always raise/lower the footrest by raising/lowering the
seat. Failure to follow this instruction could damage
the unit.
• If a jam occurs while raising or lowering the footrest,
the footrest will attempt to return to its last position.
This will produce a sequence error.
To restore normal footrest operation:
▫ Clear the jam.
▫ Move the seat up and down until the footrest moves
again.
▫ If normal footrest operation is not restored, contact
a Homeadapt Service Representative.

OPERATION
OPTIONAL
POWER Folding Rail
The power folding rail is very similar to the
manual folding rail except it has a motorized
actuation built into the rail hinge to automatically
raise and lower the folding section of the rail.
The power folding rail includes a mid-travel
stop position.
• If you are above this stop, the rail should
always be folded up.
• If you are below this stop the rail should be
folded down.
Do not attempt to manually fold the rail!
Using power from the carriage, fold or unfold
the rail:
• by riding the stairlift, or
• by using the remote call/send transmitters.
Riding the stairlift:
If you are at the top of the staircase, ride
down as previously instructed until you contact
the mid-stop.
(continued on next page)
PINCH POINT!
Make sure the areas above and
below the folding rail are clear
before operating the
folding rail.
Keep children and pets at a safe
distance.
Failure to observe this warning
could result in injury or
damage to equipment.

OPERATION
OPTIONAL
POWER Folding Rail
Look down the staircase to be sure there are no
obstructions to prevent the rail from lowering!
Press the armrest switch again, in the down
direction. The folding rail will lower. The
stairlift will not move down until the rail folds
down completely and touches the ground.
Once the rail is folded down, press and hold
the armrest switch again until you reach the
bottom of the staircase.
If you are at the bottom of the staircase, ride
up until you contact the mid stop.
Look down the staircase to be sure there are no
obstructions to prevent the rail from folding up!
Press the armrest switch again, in the up
direction. The rail will rise up. The stairlift
will not continue up until the folding rail is
completely folded up.
When the rail is in its fully up position, press the
UP armrest switch again to travel the rest of the
way up the staircase. (continued on next page)
Note
You will hear a continuous beep
whenever the folding rail is in
motion. This is to warn people
nearby of rail operation.
In addition, the yellow LED on
the control box ashes.
