Lift Operation
SAFETY RULES
FOOTREST SAFETY PAN
Always observe the following safety rules when
operating the lift.
The lift is equipped with a safety pan mounted on
the bottom of the footrest. Should the safety pan
encounter an obstruction, the lift will stop abruptly.
The lift can be backed away from the obstruction by
using the armrest mounted or remote control.
• Never stand on the footrest when the lift
is moving.
• Never exceed the weight capacity of the lift.
WARNING
Do not carry pets or children on
your lap while riding the stair lift. The
lift is designed for use by only one
person at a time.
WARNING
Never attempt to operate the lift
while standing up. Always sit in the
center of the seat with the seat belt
fastened around your waist.
WARNING
Keep your feet centered on the
footrest while traveling up and down
the stairs. Never dangle your feet off
the footrest while riding the lift.
• Never use the lift to transport cargo.
• Always place your feet in the center of
the footrest.
• Always lock the seat in the ride position
before using the lift.
• Always use the seatbelt and remain seated in
the center of the seat.
TIP
Use the armrests to assist you when
getting on and off the lift.
DIRECTION CONTROLS
CHAIR LOCK
The Vantage Stair Lift is equipped with an armrest
mounted control and two wireless remote contols. All
controls require constant pressure.
The lift will not operate if the chair is not locked in
the ride position.
To prevent accidental movement, the lift has a
programmed delay before moving.
When using the remote control, aim the remote
toward the lift receiver eye located on either end of
the chassis.
When using the lift at the top of the staircase, always
verify that the seat is securely locked in the load
(rotated) position before attempting to sit in the chair.
SEAT BELT RESTRAINT
Always use the Seat Belt.
NOTE: The remote control will be locked out for 20
seconds after the armrest control is used.

Care and Maintenance
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
The rail gear should be cleaned once a year or more frequent if exposed to contaminants such as pet hair,
excessive dust, etc. Wipe or vacuum debris from the gear teeth. Apply a small amount of lubricant onto a
clean cloth and wipe across the gear teeth. Do not apply too much lubricant, over lubricating will attract dirt
and debris.
Ensure all rail and seat support fasteners are tight.
TIP
TIP
SHOCK
WARNING
Gear rack should be lubricated with a multi-purpose calcium grease.
DO NOT USE any type of light weight penetrating oil (WD-40, GUNK, Kroil,
Liquid Wrench etc.)
The lift and aluminum rail can be cleaned with any commercial window cleaner.
DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners.
To prevent electrical shock or damge to the lift, disconnect the 120 VAC power when cleaning the
lift. Never apply cleaning liquids directly on the rail mounted charging stations or electrical safety
switches.
MANUAL LOWERING TOOL
If the lift is inoperable because it has driven onto the final limit switch, it has to be manually moved off
the final limit.
1. Turn the lift off at the power switch.
NOTE: Disconnecting the power supply does not
turn the lift off. The power supply only charges the
batteries.
2. Remove the round plastic plug on the side of the
chassis to access the end of the motor shaft.
[Figure 5-1]
3. Place the manual lowering tool onto the end of
the motor shaft and rotate until the final limit switch
becomes disengaged.
4. Re-install the plastic plug and turn the lift "ON".

Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your lift does not operate, diagnose the problem
by listening to the beeps emitted:
• A long beep when the control switch is
pressed indicates the lift is touching an
obstruction.
• One beep per second for 30 seconds (after
a 30 second delay) indicates the lift has
been stopped off the charge station. It is
recommended that the lift be immediately
moved to a charge station (located either end
of the rail).
• Two beeps every 60 seconds indicates a major
fault with the circuit board. Turn unit off and
back on to reset.
• Three beeps every 60 seconds indicate a major
fault with the footrest sensor. Turn unit off and
back on to reset.
• Seven beeps every 60 Seconds indicate a
major fault with the slow down switches. Turn
unit off and back on to reset.
• Eight beeps every 60 seconds indicate a major
fault with the limit switch. Turn unit off and
back on to reset.
If your lift fails to reset, contact your dealer for
service.
NOTE: A fault is defined as major any time it requires
the unit to be turned off and back on to reset.
