This user handbook is to help provide an understanding of orre t and safe use of the lift.
Your lift has been manufa tured and installed in a ordan e with the Supply of Ma hinery
(Safety) Regulations 2008 (2008 No. 1597).
It is important that you arrange for the lift to re eive regular inspe tion and servi ing by a
ompetent person at intervals of at least every six months, after the guarantee period has
expired. A Servi e Log Card supplied by the Servi e Bran h will be ompleted after ea h
servi e visit. Failure to ensure servi ing is arried out ould lead to unreliable or unsafe
operation.

Maintenan e
Maintenan e Maintenan e
Maintenan e is the regular servi ing of the lift, en ompassing the routine adjustment to
omponents, repla ement of worn or damaged parts, topping up of fluids and so on, and
should be arried out by an experien ed and ompetent lift ompany, su h as Stannah Lift
Servi es. Maintenan e is arried out to ensure the lift runs effi iently and safely.
Thorough Examination
Thorough Examination Thorough Examination
Thorough Examination is the systemati and detailed visual inspe tion of the lift and all its
asso iated equipment and would usually be arried out by a third party, or an appointed
‘ ompetent person’. Thorough Examination provides a good he k that maintenan e is
being arried out properly. It fo uses entirely on the safety of the equipment.
Authoritative guidan e on Thorough Examination as required by Lifting Operations and
Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) an be found in The Guidelines for
Supplementary Testing of In-Servi e Lifts published by SAFed. Thorough Examination may
also be referred to as Form 54 or F54 inspe tion – the ode given to the form pres ribed
by repealed Fa tories A ts. Although no longer pres ribed, the term remains in use. Other
ommon terms used are: periodi inspe tion, statutory inspe tion (be ause it is required by
law) or insuran e inspe tion (inspe tions are often on behalf of insuran e ompanies).

PRODUCT LIFE EXPECTANCY
Produ t life expe tan y depends largely on the environment, usage and the undertaking of
proper s heduled maintenan e. Our lift produ ts are designed and life tested for a full life
y le of 10 years without major intervention. In most ases, we would expe t our lifts to last
far beyond this, providing they are properly ared for and maintained.
We have a number of platform lifts on our servi e portfolio that were installed from the late
1990s. The earliest platform lifts installed are approa hing 20 years in servi e.
A tual life expe tan y of a lift depends on a number of fa tors, in luding:
• The load the lift a tually arries on ea h journey
• The a tual lift travel, as this determines the journey time and hen e wear on the drive
system
• The level of usage of the lift and whether this hanges over time
• The environmental onditions that it operates within
• The quality of the servi ing and maintenan e
We ensure that spare omponents are available for at least 10 years following the
installation of any lift but many will be available far beyond this. There are a number of
omponent parts that may require repla ement during its life y le and you will be advised
of this as part of your lift servi ing s hedule.

Pay attention to all paragraphs marked with this sign. These paragraphs
ontain important hints that will ensure smooth operation of the lift.
WARNING! Important safety advi e! Observing these instru tions greatly
redu es the possibility of hazardous situations.
Pay attention! Do not exe ute the a tions marked with this sign!
• The lift must not be overloaded. The maximum apa ity of the lift is indi ated on the
front fa e of the arriage.
Safe working load: 250kg wheel hair & o upant (unless payload 300kg or
more).
• The emission sound pressure level for lift users is not expe ted to ex eed 60dB(A).
• This platform lift must only be used for the transport of persons in wheel hairs or sitting
on the optional fold down seat. Never use the lift in a standing position.
• This lift is designed to arry the majority of Type A and B wheel hairs, but not Type C
wheel hairs or ele tri s ooters due to their weight and size.
• This lift is not designed for arrying goods or animals of any kind. The ex eptional use
by trained guide dogs is permitted.
• Do not ex eed the maximum platform load or maximum wheel hair size.
• Remove key swit h from both the lift and the platform after use.
• Children should not be allowed to tamper or play with the lift.
• Keep hands and fingers away from the ba k of the arriage.
• Passengers must remain in the wheel hair or seat while the lift is operating.
Persons walking up or down the stairs while the lift is being operated must avoid onta t
with the platform. Platform users should take into onsideration that the platform needs
more spa e in a bend than on a straight railway. Therefore, before moving, look to see if
anyone is using the stairs or if there are obsta les.
Emergen y stop

If the platform is not in the stop position within 5 minutes after use, the beeper will
sound every se ond. If so, please bring the platform to the stop position.
If the lift is parked in the stop position and the beeper still gives signals, this suggests
a problem with the re harger. Please turn off the lift mains power swit h and he k if
there are building power outs or if a fuse is not working. If any su h errors are
orre ted and the beeper is still giving signals please onta t your Servi e Bran h.
If the battery voltage is too weak for normal operation then the beeper will sound
every 2.5 se onds. Please bring the arriage in the stop position to re harge the
batteries. If the beeper does not stop after re harging, then the batteries may need to
be hanged. Even with weak batteries the ontrol system is programmed to ensure
the arriage always rea hes the lower position with the remaining battery voltage.

Landing Controls
The Stairiser SR is equipped with landing ontrols that ommuni ate via radio with the
arriage. With these ontrols, the lift an be alled and sent when the platform is losed. In
the ase of automati platform the platform also an be opened and losed with the on-
trols.
The ontrols are supplied by one 9 volt battery. A onne tion able to a onstant power sup-
ply is possible.
The life-time of the battery is approximately one year. In general, the battery is usually
hanged during the servi e.
The fun tionality of the battery an be he ked as follows:
• In ea h wall ontrol, a green lamp is installed.
• This lamp will begin to flash if the key swit h of the ontrol is swit hed on and ontrol
buttons are depressed.
• If the lamp does not flash, a hange of the batteries will be ne essary.

Che k the following points at regular intervals, say on e a week.
1. The arriage must not start travelling until the barrier is ompletely folded down and
the ramp is turned down to the appropriate position.
2. It should be impossible to fold up the barriers while travelling. This should be tested
between two stop positions.
3. Che k if the barriers are losed and if the ramps are folded up while travelling. If the
ramps run against an obsta le or if the user presses down the ramp, the arriage will
have to stop immediately. The linkage between barriers and ramps must be in fault-
less ondition (safely s rewed on, no damage of the rope).
4. The arriage has to stop automati ally at every stop position.
5. The arriage must stop when the dire tional ontrol is released. The brake has to be
a tivated immediately.
6. The emergen y stop button must put the whole stairiser out of operation.
7. If an emergen y all system is in pla e, ensure that it works.
8. Remove dust and dirt from the tubes of the railway at regular intervals.
9. Keep the a ess free to the drive and to the main power swit h.
When leaning the stairiser use a soft loth and soapy water.

TROUBL E SHO OTING GUI DE
For safety reasons, the Stairiser SR is equipped with several ele tri al and me hani al lo k-
ing devi es. The stairiser will not work if any of these devi es are tripped or if the order of
events is in orre t. By following the instru tions provided in the ensuing paragraphs, the user
will be able to determine the reason for breakdown. You must not manipulate, modify or
remove any safety feature of the stairiser.
Work through the following instru tions paragraph by paragraph—do not skip any part! Be
sure that the landing ontrols are dea tivated whenever the platform is folded down.
Before trouble shooting, pay attention to the following:
When a landing ontrol is a tivated, it automati ally dea tivates all other wall on-
trols, i.e. the omplete lift an only be ontrolled by one ontrol at a time. If a wall
ontrol a tivates the parked lift, no other ontrol an signal the lift as long as this
wall ontrol is a tive.
Please he k that the main power swit h, lo ated at the left side of the drive box, is
a tivated. The green lamp on the platform should now glow.
Please he k if the fuses in the distribution box of your house/business are working
and turned on.
If the lift is giving a ousti signals please he k the batteries as des ribed in the se -
tion “battery harge system”.
If you all the servi e bran h please note your lift number. You will find this at the
front of the arriage under the “serial number”. It’s the easiest way to identify your
lift to give fast and effi ient advi e.
