1Unpackning & Moving the FlexStep V2
1.1 Definition
In order to simplify the reading of this manual, or any conversation with us, it is important to set
some basic definitions in place. The FlexStep V2 is a lifting platform capable of transferring a
wheelchair or disabled people between 2 levels (max 1250 mm). After transfer the product will
in most cases automatically return into staircase position.
The product can be with 3, 4, 5 or 6 steps (3+1, 4+1), as an option it can be equipped with a
Vertical Safety Barrier.
Right Hand Side of the lift
A: Primary Master Actuator
B: Primary Slave Actuator
C: Primary Control Unit (jumpers are
on this side)
Left Hand Side of the lift
E: Secondary Master Actuator
F: Secondary Slave Actuator
D: Secondary Control Unit
G: RH Side and LH Side wall profiles
H: RH Side and LH Side Girders
After opening the wood or carton pallet, you need to remove all packaging around the FlexStep.

1.2 Unpacking and moving the product
The FlexStep V2 is equipped with batteries so even if the power supply is not connected
to the lift, the lift can move (not the case if it’s prepared for disassembly). To start
moving the FlexStep V2 you need to make some changes on the Safety Circuit of the
product as it is by default delivered with all safety functions active.
Remove the 3 screws on the top of the Primary Control Unit (Right Hand Side of the
product). Remove the cover and slide the cover upwards to remove it.
Once done, you see the Primary Control Unit.
In order to move the product, place a jumper on:
-Upper Gate SW
-Under Pan SW
If you now release the emergency button, you should have all green LED’s on (see
photo).

Use the up button on the platform to move the product upwards.
Use e.g. a fork lift to remove the FlexStep V2 from the wooden pallet.
During transport of the product, remember to activate the emergency button.
Once at site, it is helpful to move the FlexStep on a rolling table.
NOTE: Remember to always push the emergency button after moving the lift as it may
try to return to staircase immediately.

2Attachment to building
2.1 Mounting of Wall Profiles without a vertical safety barrier.
If your FlexStep V2 is fitted with a vertical safety barrier –go to chapter
2.2.
The FlexStep V2 lifting platform/staircase is delivered almost fully
assembled. Only the two wall profiles need to be attached to the adjoining
wall to ensure a stable performance.
2.1.1 Fixing the wall profiles on the wall
1.
Start by removing the plastic cover on the top of the left hand side wall profile.
Remove the protection profiles.
2.
Start by checking the upper landing floor. If the
floor is not even, start fitting the wall profile
where the floor is lower (could be the right hand
side).
Make sure the distance between the top of the
wall profile and the upper level is precisely 820
mm
Make sure that you also have 20 mm free space
under the wall profile (use a piece of wood or
plastic shims).
If you cannot have 20 mm at the bottom, you
need to shorten the wall profile at the bottom.

2.2 Mounting of Wall Profiles with a vertical safety barrier
The Vertical Safety Barrier can be delivered as an add-on solution,
which can be fitted to an existing FlexStep V2, To do this you need
to change the wall profiles, as they are different.
2.2.1 Fixing the wall profiles on the wall
1.
Start by removing the plastic cover on the top of the left hand side wall profile.
Remove the 2 brush rails, and the aluminium cover rail.
2.
Start by checking the upper landing floor. If
the floor is not even, start fitting the wall
profile where the floor is lower (could be
the right hand side).
Make sure that the distance between the
top of the wall profile and the upper level is
precisely 1100 mm.
Make sure that you also have 20 mm free
space under the wall profile (use a piece of
wood or plastic shims).
If you cannot have 20 mm at the bottom,
you need to shorten the wall profile at the
bottom.
