USER MANUAL –FLEXSTEP V2 –AUS VERSION 1.0

1. Foreword

Congratulations on purchasing your new FlexStep V2 wheelchair lift –an aesthetic and

innovative 2-in-1 solution providing you with both an ordinary staircase and a sophisticated

stairlift –be it in your home, office or other place.

This is an original user manual for your new FlexStep V2. Hereinafter we use the term FlexStep

for FlexStep V2, if nothing else is specifically indicated.

It is important to read this manual before using the lift.

Setup and installation MUST be undertaken by a qualified Liftup service technician, so as to

ensure correct assembly. Improper assembly can lead to unintended risks of personal injury.

Service and maintenance must be performed in accordance with Liftup’s terms of sale and

delivery and in compliance with local ordinances and regulations as regards the intervals between

service inspections.

FlexStep V2 is an elegant combination of regular stairs and wheelchair lift, which easily provides

wheelchair users and the walking-impaired access between two levels.

In this user manual “FlexStep V2” in the function as stairlift will be mentioned as

“lift”.

The lift is easy to operate using operating panels mounted on the wall, on the lift, or by means

of a remote control (optional equipment).

USER MANUAL –FLEXSTEP V2 –AUS VERSION 1.0

7. Safety instructions

7.1 Installation and maintenance

Do NOT try to install or service your FlexStep yourself –this MUST be done by an authorised*

service technician. Do NOT remove the protective or safety plates, as this may lead to personal

injury.

*Has completed a Liftup product and service course.

7.2 Unintended movements of FlexStep

If during the use of your FlexStep, movement or action occurs which is not described in this

manual, stop the unit and call technical assistance.

Should your FlexStep not move with plane movement as a platform, calibrate the lift by running

the platform down to floor level. If the problem continues, call technical assistance.

7.3 Lift movement

The space under the lift must be kept free of all objects which may impair its downward

movement. Otherwise the lift cannot be moved to the lowest level and thus not be used as a

wheelchair lift.

Should an object hinder lift downward movement, the anti-crushing safety feature will be

activated (see section 7.7).

7.4 Avoiding personal injury

Do NOT transform the FlexStep from stairs into platform or the reverse when persons or

objects are on the stairs.

So as to avoid personal injury it is NOT permitted to use the FlexStep V2 when someone is at

risk of being injured by crushing, cutting, falling, slipping, or similar.

It is important that the operator/user ensures that the lift can move without putting anyone or

anything at risk.

Be extra careful when there are small children, elderly or disabled people on or near the

stairs/platform, as these groups cannot always be expected to be able to foresee the possible

consequences of lift movement.

7.5 Overload of the lift

In order to avoid damage to the lift in the event of overload (max. 400 kg evenly distributed), it

is fitted with an overload cut-out, which when triggered halts the lift and issues an audible alarm

(see section 11.8). In such cases, run the lift down in order to exit it.

USER MANUAL –FLEXSTEP V2 –AUS VERSION 1.0

7.6 Personal safety

FlexStep is fitted with various safety features which ensure that the user or other people are

not injured when using the lift.

WARNING! Although the lift comes fitted with various safety features never use it

if persons or animals are close by, as there may otherwise be a risk of crushing.

Never allow children to play with the lift.

7.7 Anti-crushing

Beneath the entire lift a number of pressure plates (anti-crushing) are fitted which are activated

if an object is going to be crushed below. When this feature is activated the lift stops and then

runs approx. 2 cm upwards, while at the same time an audible alarm is issued (see section 11.8).

If the anti-crushing feature is activated, release the operating button. Remove any objects under

the lift, and it can then be run to the “lower landing” or “staircase” states. (If needed, run the

lift upwards so you can more easily remove objects underneath it).

IMPORTANT! Keep in mind that when the lift is used outside, leaves, branches and

snow can affect the anti-crushing safety feature, and so you should check regularly

that the lift will not be obstructed when moving downward.

USER MANUAL –FLEXSTEP V2 –AUS VERSION 1.0

7.7.1 Infrared anti-crushing feature

Infrared sensors are fitted between the steps in order to avoid crushing between them.

Infrared sensors prevent crushing between the steps

If the IR sensors are disrupted when the FlexStep V2 moves from staircase to platform or the

reverse, movement will stop, and an audible alarm will sound (see section 11.8).

7.8 Safety barriers

7.8.1 Ramp as roll-off protection

If the lift is fitted with a ramp, the ramp will first pull up and lock before the lift begins to move.

The ramp now acts as roll-off protection. When the lift returns to floor level, the ramp will

automatically lower (keep the button pressed) and act as a drive-on/drive-off ramp.

Ramp as roll-off protection

Ramp as a drive-on/drive-off ramp

7.8.2 Doors as roll-off protection

If the lift is fitted with doors, they will close before it begins to move. The doors will always be

closed, when the lift has moved off ground level. If the lift is fitted with doors, it can be equipped

with automatic door locks. The automatic door locks will secure that the doors are locked

before the lift begins to move.

USER MANUAL –FLEXSTEP V2 –AUS VERSION 1.0

7.8.3 Vertical safety barrier

If the lift is fitted with a vertical safety barrier (optional equipment) at the upper level, it will

close before the lift begins to move. The vertical safety barrier will always be closed, when the

lift is not at the upper level.

The vertical safety barrier is closed and locked

when the lift is not at the top level.

7.9 Handling

The lift is normally supplied by your dealer, who also takes care of installation.

IMPORTANT! Do not try to move the lift manually, as this can lead to personal

injury. The product should be moved and handled using suitable lifting equipment

(pallet-truck, roller plate, or similar).

DO NOT subject the lift to severe knocks/blows as these can affect functionality.

Keep the associated remote control (supplementary equipment) dry and do not subject it to

severe blows. Cleaning may only be performed using a well-wrung cloth.

USER MANUAL –FLEXSTEP V2 –AUS VERSION 1.0

7.10 Unlocking door in case of emergency

In case of emergency/malfunction: Release the folding spring bolt.

1. Pull the spring out from the shaft of the

clevis, using a suitable tool, screwdriver,

ruler, bottle-opener, etc.

2. From outside, you can approach the lower

side

3. The spring is released

4. When the spring is released pull out the

bolt.

Please note!

The bolt may be difficult to pull out,

because of pressure on the door actuator.

5. Now the door can be moved freely
