Testing obligations
Whether or not the T80 chair lift is subject to an obligatory test depends on the respective
national regulations and is the user’s responsibility. These regulations must be checked and
adhered to. In Germany, a test is obligatory for systems with a lifting height of ≥ 3m.
In each case, proof must be provided and documented in accordance with EN81-40 before the
first use.
The T80 chair lift is to undergo maintenance in accordance with the maintenance instructions at
least once per year. We recommend that you take out a service contract with your dealer.
Intended purpose of use
The T80 chair lift is intended for the transport of people with reduced mobility.
The chair lift travels between fixed access points along a permanently installed running rail,
which can be implemented straight or curved. The chair lift is guided over the stairs or an
accessible inclined surface by the running rail.
The system may only be operated by persons who have been instructed how to do so.
The following transport profile is foreseen:
1. Transport of one seated person
A usage profile of 10 start-ups per hour is foreseen (with distances covered of max. 15 m for
each start-up). In the case of longer distances covered, the number of start-ups should be reduced
accordingly (and linearly).
The T80 chair lift may be only operated if danger due to falling objects (such as flower pots) is
ruled out.

2.1

Operating manual chair STG 6/15 Version: 12.0 (02/2010)
Inappropriate use must be prevented, e.g.:
Exclusive use for loads (if, in rare cases, loads such as shopping or beverage crates are
transported, it is essential to ensure that the load is sufficiently stable and that the
permissible loading capacity is not exceeded).
Loads that protrude beyond the surface area of the opened footrest/seat may in general not
be transported (e.g. large pieces of furniture).
The T80 chair lift is not a toy (children).
Operation in potentially explosive atmospheres
Operator qualification:
The operator of the chair lift must have unrestricted mental abilities. Operators with seriously
impaired vision may be transported only with an attendant, whereby the attendant issues the drive
commands. Furthermore, the operator must have read and understood the operating instructions.
Product description
Our products combine the requirements for overcoming stairs with outstanding integration in the
familiar environment in an appropriate way. On the one hand, the upper track tube can be used as
hand rail and, on the other, the platform and track are painted according to your wishes in a
colour from the extensive RAL pallet. The track does not need to be lubricated, as a result of
which undesirable dirtying is ruled out.
The permissible load capacity is 225 kg (measuring point for this is the centre of the seat).
The continuous sound pressure level is less than 70 dB (A).
We recommend that you take out a service contract. This guarantees the technically optimum
condition of your T80 chair lift by means of regular maintenance. The maintenance interval is at
least once per year.

3. Safety and special instructions
! ATTENTION ! Although your lift complies with the latest safety regulations, it is
essential to follow the safety instructions below:
Put the lift into operation only after reading the operating
instructions and adhere to the operating instructions.
Never exceed the permissible loading capacity.
Prevent unsupervised and improper use (e.g. by playing children).
Operate the lift only when seated.
Do not use the lift in the case of fire.
Do not allow loosely hanging articles of clothing to get near to the
running rail when the lift is moving.
Fold up the lift when not in use – risk of tripping up.
Never place your hands near the running rail when the lift is
moving.
Be sure to observe the track in the direction of travel when
travelling.
The lift is approved only for the transport of one seated person.
Never insert solid articles or liquids into slots or other openings,
even when the lift is at a standstill.
Do not remove, cut through, deform, or use undue force to operate
parts of the lift, cladding parts or operating elements.
Do not push the armrests with undue force, either while travelling
or when raising or lowering them.
Stop the drive command immediately if there are obstacles or
articles in or on the running track or chair, or in the driving area.
Do not remove any labels or signs belonging to the lift.
Have repairs carried out exclusively by specialists.
Do not use the lift in a potentially explosive atmosphere.

Operating manual chair STG 9/15 Version: 12.0 (02/2010)
Do not make any unnecessary movements on the chair, such as
rocking or swinging.
In the case of interior and exterior installations, brief or permanent
flooding of the lift is forbidden.
Remove dirt from the lift with a little polish or a damp cloth, not
with a water jet.
The chair and track must be sufficiently well lit by daylight or
electric lighting. The electric lighting must be independent of timer
circuits.

Main switch
The main switch (red key) is located on the chair frame, beside the seat (see page 7/item
5). The key can be removed by turning it anti-clockwise, thus disconnecting the power
supply.
Deep discharge protector
All T80 chair lifts are equipped with an acoustic deep discharge protector. This acoustic
signal generator is intended to protect the batteries against deep discharge. If the battery
voltage drops below 22 V, a beep sounds at intervals of approx. 5 seconds. In this case
you should drive immediately to the next charging station – if possible the lower
charging station – and allow the lift to charge up there for several hours (this takes place
automatically in the charging station). The beep stops after proper charging. The sound
can be turned off by pressing the emergency stop button; this has no influence on the
charging process.
Note: A signal likewise sounds if the chair lift is not charged 30 seconds after the last
motor movement.
Battery charger (indicator lamps)
The indicator lamps on the battery charger indicate the respective condition of the battery
charger. A distinction must thereby be made between three different versions of battery
charger. The main distinguishing feature is the number of LEDs.
3 LEDs: Green Yellow Red
No electricity supply to the
charger
Off Off Off
No battery connected On Flashes (briefly) Off
Charging On Flashes slowly Off
Battery fully charged On On, goes off briefly every
2 seconds.

2 LEDs: Green Yellow
No electricity supply to the
charger

No battery connected On Off
Charging On Flickers
Battery fully charged On On
If charging does not take place, although the battery charger is ready for use and the lift
is located correctly in a loading station:
Please check the charging circuit breaker (see page 7, item 11); this is located at the rear
of the chair lift. To do this, the cover (exterior installations only) must be lifted up (fold
the lower part toward the running rail; after that it can be pulled away in a downward
direction). The switch (small rocker arm) on the charging circuit breaker must be in the
up position. Afterwards the cover is to be attached again.

Fetching and sending the chair
The chair lift can be fetched from or sent to another station from any station. To
do this, the key must be inserted in the key switch at the corresponding station
and turned in the corresponding direction (the drive command must be
maintained continuously, so-called jogging operation).
The lift does not react immediately, but after a delay time of approx. 2 seconds.
Note: The lift drives from the external control points only in the folded up
condition, i.e. the footrest and the armrests of the chair must be folded up.
In the case of a storey circuit (more than two stations) the chair lift is to be
fetched or sent as follows: If the T80 chair lift reaches one of the middle stations,
it stops there. If the T80 chair lift is to drive on, then the external control must be
released briefly and then actuated again immediately, so that the chair lift
continues to drive.
Proceed as follows in order to fold up the chair by hand:
a) fold back the armrests
b) fold up the seat
c) fold up the foot rests
Proceed in the reverse order to unfold the chair lift again.
Note: an LED is mounted on the radio transmitter for fetching/sending the chair
lift.
GREEN: batteries are OK
ORANGE: the battery power is diminishing; renew the batteries at your earliest
convenience
RED: the battery power is very low; replace the batteries immediately
Travelling with the chair
The following control elements are located on the armrests of the chair lift:
a) Key switch Function -I-, -0- and -II- (page 7/item 3)
c) EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton (red knob) (page 7/item 4)
c) Enable button (page 7/item 10)
d) Emergency call (page 7/item 8)
The function of the enable button described below can be omitted in very rare
cases, e.g. if an arm has been amputated or is paralysed. The enable button is then
present, but not working, i.e. it is as though the button were constantly depressed.

4.6.1
What to do in the event of an unexpected standstill
We recommend that a working mobile telephone be carried in order to alert the
rescue services.
Manual operation
The T80 chair lift can also be operated manually. Manual operation must be
performed by technical personnel. The procedure is as follows:
a) Press the EMERGENCY STOP button (page 7/item 4) on the chair lift.
b) Remove the hood (page 7/item 1) (the screw on the top side must be removed
first in order to do this). A switch is mounted on the hood whose cable must be
removed from a plug connector. (Tool supplied in the envelope).
c) Set the hood carefully aside.
d) The brake venting lever is to be pressed upward or downward whilst at the
same time turning the hand wheel on the end of the motor shaft (see sketch
overleaf).

Operating manual chair STG 13/15 Version: 12.0 (02/2010)
In doing so, the direction of travel should always be towards the lower station
(less energy expenditure when turning the hand wheel). The respective direction
of rotation is indicated directly on the hand wheel.
Note: If the cause of the standstill is not clear, it should be assumed that the safety
arrester has been triggered and that its safety switch has led to the lift switching
off. The safety arrester may only be reset by technical personnel. In this case,
proceeded as described above, but first turn the hand wheel in the UP direction
(until the lift has moved approx. 5 cm along the rail), after which the hand wheel
can be turned in the DOWN direction.
The chair lift must be folded up by hand so that it does not block the stairway (see
4.4).
