Final Limit switch

Description

The stair lift has activated the final limit switch, there are two points on the rail where this is more likely to occur, at the top and the bottom of the rail, where the limit stop ramps are. These ramps are designed for the soft stop of the stair lift, and to ensure it comes to a halt in the correct position. When this code shows the stair lift may have overrun the final limit.

Solution

Lift at top
Locate the hand-winding wheel (gray mushroom shaped object approx. 5" in diameter, generally left under the rail on one of the stair treads). Prise out white disk on the carriage (a blunt knife or screwdriver may be required). Place hand-winding wheel into the hole and wind the lift down the track (turn anti-clockwise). Take the hand-winding wheel out and run the lift down the track and back up to check the lift is ok.

Lift at bottom
Locate the hand-winding wheel (gray mushroom shaped object approx. 5" in diameter, generally left under the rail on one of the stair treads). Prise out white disk on the carriage (a blunt knife or screwdriver may be required). Place hand-winding wheel into the hole and wind the lift up the track (turn clockwise). Take the hand-winding wheel out and run the lift down the track and back up to check the lift is ok.

Lift mid track
Check the limit switches. The switches are located under the carriage just above the rail and are made of brass with a small wheel on each of them. All limit switches should be level (fully extended) when off the limit ramps on the track. If any of the switches are raised, push the switch roller/plunger down with a screwdriver, so it is level with the others.
