INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Terry TSL1000 lift, designed and
manufactured in the U.K. using the latest technology from Terry
Group Ltd. We want you to get the most out of your TSL1000 Lift
and to help in this aim, we have produced this small booklet on
operation and maintenance of the equipment which we trust you
will find helpful.
It is hoped that any queries you may have during day to day
operation will be answered in the text but if you do have any
problems our technical help service is only a phone call away.
We hope that our product gives you many years of reliable
service.

DESCRIPTION
The Terry TSL1000 Lift is designed to transport a single person
in a wheelchair between two floor levels up to 1 metre apart.
To provide the lifting force the lift uses a hydraulic cylinder under
the platform, fed via a hose from a pump unit mounted under
the power pack cover on the platform. Principal features of the
design are its low closed height and silent smooth operation. The
low closed height eliminates the need for a pit.
Control stations are provided on the platform power pack and
at the upper and/or lower levels depending on requirements. A
remote control enabler option is also available to limit the use of
the lift to authorised users only.

It is most important that before operating the lift you read these
instructions fully and are familiar with the controls and operating
procedure.
Our policy is one of continous product development and the
Company reserves the right to change specification without
notice.
If a change of use of the lift is required, this should be discussed
with the manufacturer/supplier as certain alterations may be
needed.
Examples of changes of use are:
a) change of type, size and/or weight of wheelchair;
b) change of user disability;
c) change of user;
d) removal of the homelift and reinstallation at another site;
e) change of duty cycle.
All changes of use should entail a review of the installation.

GENERAL DO’S AND DON’TS
• Always leave the power supply to the lift switched on, even
when you go away. The lift control circuits are fed by a battery,
which must be kept constantly charging.
• Never allow children to play on or around the lift.
• Ensure that the area around the lift is kept clear from debris
(e.g. litter and leaves).
• Do not exceed the maximum lifting capacity of 39 stone (250
kg).
• Always treat your lift with respect that should be shown to
electrical and mechanical equipment.
WARNING! As recommended by the Medicines and Healthcare
products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), great care should be
exercised whilst manoeuvring on and off the platform ramp, to
avoid the risk of tipping over rearwards. Information can be found
at www.mhra.gov.uk

CONTROLS
Location
• Lower level control switch(standard installation)-mounted on
control post.
Or
• Lower level control switch (pit installation / side entry)
mounted on the building structure at the lower level.
• Platform control switch-mounted on lift platform power pack
cover (mounted on handrail if side entry).
• Upper level control switch (no upper level gate) mounted on
the building structure at the upper level.
Or
• Upper level control switch (upper level gate) integral with the
gate frame.
Function
• All controls are of the “hold to run” type. Maintain pressure
on the switch until the lift reaches the upper or lower level.
To travel in the opposite direction, release the switch, wait 2
seconds and press again.
• A master switch, which “locks” all controls to prevent
unauthorised use is fitted to the charger box.
• If the lift has been supplied with a remote control lift enabler
unit the lift will remain disabled until key fob is pressed.
Pressing the key fob will allow the lift to be operated by the
up/down control in the normal way. 3 minutes after pressing
the key fob the lift will automatically revert back to its disabled
mode preventing further use. The lift can then only be
reactivated for use by repressing the key fob.

OPERATING THE LIFT
If the radio control enabler option is fitted press the key fob to
activate the control stations.
The lift can be called by maintaining pressure on the call button
and waiting for it to stop at the appropriate level. Move on to the
platform and apply the wheelchair brakes. Press and maintain
pressure on the control button to operate the lift until it stops at
the required level.
The upper level gate will automatically release for up to 10
seconds when the lift reaches the upper level. Alternatively
pressing the ‘gate open’ button on the platform or on the upper
call station will also release the gate. Note that the lift can only be
lowered when the upper level gate is fully shut.
If necessary, the lift can be stopped at any time by releasing the
control button.
The underside of the lift is fitted with a platform safety device
which automatically stops the lift if an obstruction is present
beneath the platform. Once the obstruction has been removed
the lift will continue to operate as normal.
We recommend that the lift is kept at the lower level when
not in use.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
a) Isolation of the batteries on the lift is
achieved by removing a fuse. This is
located at the ramp end of the power
pack box on the platform, behind a round
blanking plug. Remove the plug to gain
access to the fuse, which can simply be
pulled out to isolate the batteries.
b) In the unlikely event that the lift stops
part-way through its travel and will not
restart, it can be lowered by removing a
round blanking cover on the top of the
power pack box on the platform and
pulling the chord, located beneath.
Please Note: If the platform is at the
upper level and will not lower, it will be
necessary to first remove the fuse as per
emergency procedure a) before following
emergency procedure b).
In the interest of safety, ensure that the
upper level gate is closed before the lift is
manually lowered.
Be aware that the platform safety device
does not function when manually lowering
the lift. Ensure that people are away
from the platform and that there are no
obstructions.
c) The Isolator switch is situated on top
of the charger pack (located indoors),
should be switched on at all times.
NOTE: A competent person will need to be
called to restore the safety functions of the lift
before re-use.

SAFETY FEATURE CHECKS
As a precautionary measure it is advised that you check the
safety features built into the lift on a weekly basis. Carry out the
ckecks as discribed below: -
• Platform safe edge - With the lift at the upper level call the lift
down and once it is moving obstruct the platform safe edge,
the lift should stop.
These tests may require the help of another person: -
• Folding ramp upper safe edge - With the lift at lower level
obstruct the upper surface of the ramp and send the lift up,
the lift should stop within 300mm of travel.
• Upper level gate - With the lift at the upper level open the
upper level gate and attempt to call the lift down from the
lower level. The lift should remain stationary.
All of these tests should be carried out with the lift
unoccupied.
If any of these tests fail, the lift MUST NOT be used and advice
sought by calling the number on the back of this booklet
