OPERATING PROCEDURES
1- Position yourself in the seat and fasten the seat belt. Raise and
hold the seat swivel handle, then rotate the seat so that you are
parallel to the rail (with your back against the stairway wall).
Release the seat swivel handle to secure the seat in that position.
A SAFETY SWITCH PREVENTS THE LIFT FROM
OPERATING UNLESS THE SEAT IS LATCHED IN
POSITION (PARALLEL TO THE RAIL).
Position both feet securely on the footrest and place your arms
on the armrest cushions.
2- The UP/DOWN rocker switch is located below the front end of
the right armrest. Depressing and holding one end of the rocker
control switch will cause the carriage to move in that direction.
The carriage stops automatically at the upper or lower end of the
rail or if the switch is released.
3- Two (2) remote CALL/SEND control units enable you to “call”
or “send” the carriage to/or from either end of the rail.
SAFEGUARDS
Be sure stairs are clear of objects before operating lift.
Fasten your seat belt before operating lift.
Seat must be locked in “riding” position for UP/DOWN travel.
SAFETY FEATURES
Safety switches installed on the Step-Saver Stairlift stop the carriage
when it reaches the top or bottom of the stairway.
The footrest and the carriage incorporates obstruction sensors which will
stop the carriage if an obstacle is encountered on the stairs. If this should
occur, press the opposite side of the “UP/DOWN” control switch to run
the carriage in the opposite direction. Clear the obstacle from the
stairway and proceed as usual.
Your Step-Saver Stairlift will not run if the position of the seat is different
than the normal traveling position (90° degrees).

SEATING FEATURES
The seat assembly of the Step-Saver Stairlift is designed to swivel and
lock in five (5) positions.
Lifting the seat swivel handle allows you to swivel the seat to a
convenient position for transferring into or out of the seat.
The seat and the footrest can easily be folded up to allow more space on
the stairway.
Your Step-Saver Stairlift is equipped with flip-up armrest (to allow easier
transfer from wheelchair or scooter). To lower an armrest, lift the
armrest and flip it backwards.
When seated, lift the armrest back to its original position, push it down
and ensure it is locked.
