The seat, arms and footrest can be folded up when not in use to allow greater access on the stairway, effi ciently using the space in your hallway. The lift can still be operated using the remote control handset.
Note: The stairlift will not run if the downside arm is folded upwards. The downside arm must be completely down for the stairlift to operate. The stairlift can still be called with the remote controls.
Acorn Stairlifts User Manual
17
STAIRLIFT OPERATION
PARKING AND RECHARGING
When not in use, it is vital that the unit is left on a charge point. The location of this will depend upon which type of track is fi tted.
On a standard track, the correct positions are at the top or bottom where the unit stops automatically. At these positions, the unit receives a power supply from the mains/transformer that allows the unit to recharge its internal batteries. The lift will make a single ‘beep’ to indicate that a charge point has been reached.
Note: If there is a mains electrical supply failure, or if the supply to your stairlift is switched off , it will continue to work for several journeys. However, the batteries will eventually lose their charge and the stairlift will not operate.
A DEDICATED POWER SOCKET MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR THE
STAIRLIFT. The mains electricity supply/transformer should be
left permanently connected and switched on.
It is imperative to ensure there is a continual supply of power to the stairlift.
The stairlift batteries can cover short term interruptions to the power supply, but without a supply of power, will eventually become too low to be recharged.
If this happens, the batteries will have to be replaced by an engineer, which is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and is a chargeable service.

SAFETY FEATURES
HAND WINDING
In an emergency, the stairlift may be hand wound to clear any obstruction.
If this symbol is displayed, DO NOT hand-wind the stairlift in the down direction because this could damage it.
Always observe for possible obstructions.
1. Turn off the battery isolation switch.
2. Remove the blanking cover and insert
the hand winder onto the motor spindle.
Follow the instructions on the label inside
the top of the hand winder.
If this symbol is displayed, follow the instructions below.

direction so the lift moves up the track
approximately one inch (2.5cm).
2. Remove the hand winder and turn
on the battery isolation switch.
3. Check the digital display panel has
changed from ‘F7’ to ‘A1’. If it still
displays ‘F7’ repeat the above steps.
4. Once ‘A1’ is displayed, run the lift up
until it stops automatically, and then
down to check all operations are
running as they should. Replace the
blanking cover.
CAUTION! Never run the stairlift with the winding wheel in place as it could result in serious injury or damage. Never wind the stairlift counter-clockwise/anti-clockwise if the fault code ‘F7’ shows, as this will result in damage to the OSG.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
REMOTE CONTROLS
As previously described on page 12, there may be occasions when the remote control handsets* will lose programming due to outside interference. If this happens, you can reset the remote control by parking the lift on its charge point.. Then remove the key from its location so that the digital display is showing ‘E9’.
Press the lower safety edge on the carriage and, at the same time, press the DOWN button on the remote control.
When the key is inserted back into its location and turn right (clock wise), the remote control handset will be correctly programmed.
The remote controls work by using an infrared light source. This naturally occurring light source can also be emitted by certain types of low energy bulbs. If it is found that such a bulb is causing interference with the remote controls, it is recommended that it be changed to a standard one.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE
REMOTE CONTROL BATTERIES
ARE REPLACED ANNUALLY.
*Remote handset may vary from that shown
RAILS
It is recommended that the rail should be cleaned on a weekly basis. This should be done with a dry cloth, and you can use simple household polish.
Under no circumstances should you use a damp cloth with abrasive cleaner.
Failure to clean the track on a regular basis will lead to a build up of dust on the internal rollers of the stairlift, which will in turn leave black marks; and in some instances will leave a residue which can look similar to metal shavings.
It is also recommended that the steel-toothed rack, mounted on the rail itself, should be vacuumed out on a regular basis.
Acorn Stairlifts User Manual
21
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
SAFETY EDGES
Should the stairlift become unoperational (displaying
‘E1’, ‘E2’, ‘E4’, ‘E5’) this could be due to one of the safety edges being trapped. This can be overcome by moving the stairlift back in the opposite direction and removing the obstruction or simply tapping the relevant safety edge gently.
If this doesn’t rectify the problem, contact your authorized Acorn representative for further assistance.
SLEEP MODE
If the stairlift is not parked on a charge point, or in the event of a power failure, the stairlift will ‘beep’ continuously for approximately 60 seconds, after which the stairlift will enter
SLEEP MODE. Once in sleeping mode, the stairlift will ‘beep’ twice approximately every 40 seconds. The user can ‘wake’ the stairlift at any time by using the paddle controls or remote control handset. Once woken, park the stairlift on a charge point as normal.
RESET
On certain occasions, it may be necessary to reset the control board of the stairlift.
Switch the Battery Isolation Switch OFF
(see page 10), leave for 30 seconds, then switch back on. This will reset the fault codes on the display panel.
SERVICING
It is recommended that your stairlift is serviced every 12 months by your stairlift supplier to ensure it remains safe and reliable. Your stairlift is designed to operate smoothly and quietly. The equivalent continuous A-Weighted sound pressure level of this equipment does not exceed 70db (A). For safety reasons, only Acorn specifi ed parts should be used.
Use of parts that are not Acorn approved could aff ect the safety of your stairlift.
