Carriage Safety Pad Switch - up side

Description

The Stair Lift is fitted with five different safety surfaces to stop the lift if it hits any object. There are three on the footrest and two on the carriage itself. The code will tell you which one has been activated.

Solution

The lifts location determines which edges have been activated. Check for obstructions and if none, check the safety edges are moving freely.

Lift at top
To check down direction safety edges, depress footrest safety edge furthest from stair nose with the heel of the hand then fold the footrest up and depress the center of the underside of the footrest safety pad. Next, run your hand up the track rail until it touches the carriage and depress the safety edge found at this point. All safety edges are spring loaded and should move freely.

Lift at bottom
To check the up direction safety edges, depress the footrest safety edge closest to stair with the heel of the hand, then run your hand down the track rail until it touches the carriage and depress the safety edge found at this point. All safety edges are spring loaded and should move freely.

Lift mid track
Check all safety edges.
