1 INTRODUCTiON
1.1 MANUAL
The manual describes all equipment that is available for the HomeGlide stairlift. Not all
features may be available for the model installed in your home. Illustrations may differ

The terms “left”, “right”, “front” and “rear” are used to identify specific parts of the
stairlift. The reference point is always your position as user, sitting on the stairlift.
The terms “parking point” and “charging point” commonly refer to the same point. When
the action of parking is referred to, the term “parking point” is used. When the action of
charging is referred to, the term “charging point” is used.

1.3 INTENDED USE
The stairlift has been designed to transport one person up and down the stairs. The stairlift
can only be used for straight stairs.
The stairlift operates with an electric motor that is powered by rechargeable batteries in
the motor housing. The batteries are charged at the charging points at the top and bottom
of the stairs. As an option, the batteries can also be charged at any additional charging
point.
The stairlift can be operated in two ways:
- While you are seated on the stairlift, use the armrest control unit in one of the
armrests.
- If the stairlift is not in the required place, use the call-and-send controls at the top and
bottom of the stairs.
WARNING
“WARNING” means that a (fatal) injury is possible if the instructions are not
obeyed.
CAUTION
“CAUTION” means that damage to equipment is possible if the instructions are
not obeyed.
