FOREWORD
Your Handicare 950 stairlift is a sophisticated product that has been specifically developed to carry one person (max 140 kg/22.7 stone/308 lbs) sitting on the seat (hinged rail/ slide rail type: max 120 kg/18.1 stone/264 lbs). Before using your Handicare 950 stairlift please read this manual thoroughly to familiarise yourself with how to operate your stairlift.
Your stairlift has been constructed with state of the art technology and in accordance with recognised safety regulations so you can be sure that you have a safe and reliable solution.
Nevertheless, incorrect use of the stairlift may cause risk to the user or third parties, damage to your stairlift or other goods. Use your stairlift only when it is in good working order, in accordance with the intended use described above and with due attention to this manual. Always keep this manual near the stairlift.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Should issues arise that are not covered by this document please contact your supplier.
Their Service department staff will always be pleased to help you. To help them identify your product please have the following details to hand when you call them:
• this manual
• your name, address, postcode, town and telephone number
• stairlift serial number which can be found on the label located on the power pack
underneath the seat.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using the stairlift always observe appropriate safety regulations regarding risk of electric shock and physical injury.
1.
Provide an unobstructed environment by ensuring that the entire track is free of
obstacles.
2. Take environmental influences into account. Do not expose the lift to damp or
extreme sunlight. Make sure that the environment is well lit.
3.
The stairlift should only be used by individuals who have received the appropriate
guidance. On installation the supplier is required to demonstrate how to use this
stairlift and the user is required to sign the declaration confirming that this instruction
has been received.
4. Stairlifts should only be used for carrying one person: do not use your stairlift to carry
pets, goods or more than one person at a time, even if the load is below the
maximum user weight. Keep children and pets away from the stairlift.
5.
Remove the key after use to prevent unauthorised use.
6.
Keep limbs and clothing away from moving parts. Make sure that wide or loose
clothing cannot become trapped between the chair and the stairs or rail.
7.
Ensure a safe position during use. Always ensure a correct, stable position. Please
sit as far back in the seat as you can and place your feet as close to the centre of

the stairlift.
8.
Take care at all times. Concentrate on the operation of the stairlift as releasing the
operating toggle will cause the lift to stop. To restart the lift wait 3 seconds and
push and hold the toggle in the direction of travel desired until you reach the landing
or hallway.
9.
Check for damage. Before use check the lift for external damage. Report unusual
noises, such as squeaking and creaking, to your supplier. To avoid accidents repairs
and preventive maintenance should only be carried out by engineers qualified to do so.
10.
The stairlift must not be used in the event of a fire or as a means of escape during a fire.
11.
If the stairlift is not fitted with a communication device, we recommend that you always
have one to hand.
12. Only leave the stairlift at the designated points at the top and bottom of the rail.
Structure
The strength and the suitability in general of wall, staircases, terraces, upper floors, banisters, plinths etc. which are to support or surround the installation have been verified and ensured by the customer, who therefore accepts all relative responsibilities.
Neither Handicare nor its authorised dealers may be held responsible for the suitability of the structures which surround and support the installation.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean the stairlift regularly with a damp cloth; avoid excessive use of water. Ensure the track is kept free of dirt and dust. Over time the track wheels may leave a mark on the rail.
Preventive maintenance
In addition to cleaning your stairlift, periodic preventive maintenance is necessary for continued long-term use.
Your stairlift must be serviced at least once a year by a qualified person. If your stairlift has more than two users we recommend a minimum of two services per year.
Please make an electrical socket available to provide local lighting if required during inspection and servicing. Lighting to a minimum value of 50 lux shall be provided at the boarding points whilst the stairlift is in use. Most light bulb packaging will detail the lux value of the light bulb.
