CAUTION: During the emergency operations
do not forget that the safety arms are not fixed in
the opening position.
CAUTION: In case of a system failure or trip-
ping of the safety gear, call in an authorised VIMEC
technician. In case of any kind of malfunction, put
the lift out of use by turning the master switch to
OFF.
8) AFETY Y TEM
8.1) Devices to prevent impacts and shearing along
the travel rails.
When in motion, the platform and the body of the lift
are protected by sensor guards which stop the lift if it
touches an obstacle of any kind - Fig. 5.
However, they do allow the lift to be moved in the oppo-
site direction to that in which the obstacle was encoun-
tered, to allow removal of the obstruction.
8.2) afety devices for the user.
a) afety gear - Fig. 6/a.
The stairlift is equipped with a gradual action mechani-
cal safety gear.
It is tripped if the drive components fail, or if the normal
downward travel speed is exceeded by a pre-set
amount. When tripped, this device stops the lift.
CAUTION: in this case the lift remains locked
out of use and an authorised VIMEC technician must
be called in to put it back into service.
b) Bars and guard boards
During use the platform (Fig. 11/d) is protected by two
bars (Fig. 11/a) about 100 cm above the platform sur-
face. The platform is also protected by two guard boards
(Fig. 11/b) which have the dual function of facilitating
access to the stairlift at the floors (open position) and of
retaining the wheelchair while the lift is moving (safety
position at 50°, approximately 125 cm beyond the plat-
form surface).
Before the stairlift leaves the floor, the bars and guards
automatically move to the safety position.
The guard facing in the downward direction only opens
at the lower floor.
If the bars or guards encounter an obstacle as they move
into position, an overload cut-out is tripped, preventing
operation of the lift. To restore normal operation, press
the overload cut-out reset buttons on the lift control panel
(Fig. 13).
c) Handles
In the top of the lift body, they can be used as rests
while the lift is in motion - Fig. 11/c.

8.3) Other safety devices
a) Electrical and mechanical limit stops
The electrical limit switches (Fig. 18/a) fitted to the lift
allow it to be stopped automatically in the correct posi-
tions at each end of the stair.
In case of problems, a safety overlimits stop device halts
the lift - Fig. 18/b.
CAUTION: in this case the lift remains locked
out of use and an authorised VIMEC technician must
be called in to put it back into service.
b) Power supply
The stairlift is supplied at 230 V A.C. single-phase, while
the auxiliary circuit is supplied at 24 V D.C.
c) Controls
All controls are of the dead man type (the lift stops if
the finger is taken off the button).
All the control stations (on the lift and at the floors) are
enabled by a removable key (no-one can use the lift if
the key is not inserted).
CAUTION: Pressing two buttons simulta-
neously, whether on the board on the lift or the
board at the floor, is strictly prohibited.
CAUTION: Never use the lift if the controls do
not work in the dead man mode.
d) Operation by hand.
The lift can always be operated by hand to bring the
person being transported to a floor in case of a power
black-out or a failure of the system (See point 7.5, it is
advisable to operate towards the lower floor).
e) Irreversible drive
The worm gear and spiral gear wheel ensure that the
stairlift cannot descend under its own weight and allow
smooth stopping.
f) Motor brake
The electric brake fitted on the motor ensures quick
stopping and stability.
g) Emergency stop button
The lift is fitted with a red mushroom-head emergency
STOP button (Fig. 2/e) which stops all stairlift move-
ments when pressed.
Lift operation is restored by turning the same button
through 45°.
CAUTION: Check monthly that the emergency
TOP button is working properly. If the TOP but-
ton does not halt lift movements, DO NOT U E the
lift! Call in an authorised VIMEC technician imme-
diately.
9) MAINTENANCE
The stairlift has undergone rigorous testing, but VIMEC
advises you to have it checked by technicians regu-
larly.
To ensure optimum service and safety, the system must
be inspected regularly by our specialist technicians, who
will carry out all the procedures described below.
CAUTION: In all cases, call in only staff au-
thorised by VIMEC for servicing and repairs; use
only original spare parts.
CAUTION: The recommended maintenance
frequencies must be complied with.
9.1) Parts requiring regular inspection
kill level: O - pecialist operator authorised by
VIMEC.
CAUTION: Disconnect the power supply be-
fore starting maintenance, by turning the Master
witch to OFF.
Then padlock the box containing the Master witch.
ix-monthly checks:
a) afety devices
Check that on contact with an obstacle, the anti-impact
and anti-shearing sensors stop the lift and allow it to be
started in the opposite travel direction.
Check that the stopping positions at the floors provided
by the limit switches are to requirements.
b) Electromagnetic brake
The electromagnetic brake on the motor must stop the
lift when fully loaded before the overlimits stop device
is tripped. If necessary, replace the whole brake.
c) Drive mechanics
Check that the teeth of the drive sprocket and the nylon
wheels on which the lift runs are not worn or damaged.
There must be no grooves or flattening on the wheels.
Check the chain and its stretcher device for wear.
d) afety gear
Check that the hook device is free to operate without
friction or excessive backlashes and that it trips the
safety microswitch correctly.
To check operation of the safety gear, proceed as fol-
lows:
- Move the stairlift 1-2 metres from the floor.
- Disconnect the power supply by turning the master
switch to OFF.
- Remove the protective panel (Fig. 1/b).
- Press the safety ear hook with a wooden/plastic rod.
CAUTION: Keep well away from all un- pro-
tected moving parts.
- Restore the power supply and press the down button
until the hook engages. The stairlift will stop when the
safety microswitch is pressed by the hook.
- Reset the safety gear by moving the stairlift upward in
manual mode (see point 7.5).

11) VIBRATION - AIRBORNE NOI E
a) Vibrations
The stairlift induces vibrations in the body and limbs of
the transported person having:
- low frequency and very low acceleration;
- short exposure times for the exposed person.
This parameter is therefore not significant for safety
purposes.
b) Airborne noise: less than 70 dBA.

assembly drawing (see exam le in Fig. 5) s ecific
to each installation, lace the rail in osition of
the guide connections using the screws M8 x 25
(Fig. 5/a) (driving torque: 1,6 ÷ 2 DaNm).
- If the guide junction is projected, connect to plates
(plates + dowels with driving torque: 5 ÷ 6 DaNm - Fig.
1/b).
- If the s stem installation drawing envisages then,
place the feet (optional) as shown in Fig. 6/a, fixed
resting on the floor or on the stairs.
- When mounting a rail without stair steps, supported
b the wall-mountings onl , use the positioning feet
provided (accessories for the installation technician).
- After fixing all the feet (if present) and checking the
project dimensions (Fig. 8) prearrange the wall
attachments (shim with washers to reach the minimum
dimension 100 mm) and fixed b inserting the
