STAIRLIFT OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATION
The stairlift is moved up and down the stairs by the user operating the direction controller on the armrest. Arms must be completely in the down position for the stairlift to operate. The stairlift can still be called with the remote controls with the arms in any position.
Make sure the seat is locked into position before getting on or off the stairlift.

Acorn Stairlifts User Manual
STAIRLIFT OPERATION
CHARGING YOUR STAIRLIFT
The stairlift batteries are recharged from charging points when the stairlift is in its parked position at the top and the bottom of the stairs or parking on an intermediate point if a hinge is fitted. The charging points are connected to the mains electricity supply through a DC power supply.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
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.
If there is a mains electricity supply failure, or if the supply to your stairlift is switched off, it will continue to operate for several journeys. However, the batteries will eventually lose their charge and the stairlift will not operate.
If the batteries are not being recharged, you will see A1 flashing on the fault indicator, and hear a beep alarm. The stairlift will beep intermittently for 60 seconds and stop entering hibernation mode. The stairlift will beep intermittently every 20 seconds and the fault indicator will go blank..
To ensure that the batteries are kept fully charged, the mains electricity supply should always be switched on and the stairlift parked on its charge points. The symbol will display C1 when charging or C4 when fully charged.
If the batteries have lost their charge because the mains electricity supply has been switched off, or interrupted, allow them to recharge before using the stairlift.
If the stairlift has not been charging due to lack of mains power (during a power interruption), or the lift has been used frequently enough to show a low battery sign (E7) on the digital display, the stairlift will allow the user to bring the unit DOWN to the nearest charging station. The unit will not allow the user to travel in the UP direction until the batteries are sufficiently charged.

SAFE OPERATION
Do not allow children to play with the stairlift. Do not exceed the safe weight limit (see label under seat). Always use the seatbelt.
Before operating your stairlift, ensure that there are no obstructions on the staircase. The stairlift is fitted with five safety edges.
1 & 2: Each side of the carriage.
3 & 4: Each side of the footrest.
5: Under the footrest.
If these encounter any obstruction, the stairlift will stop immediately. Move the stairlift back in the opposite direction and remove the obstruction.

The Acorn 180 Curved Stairlift is a modular system, designed for easy assembly and maintenance utilising the rack and pinion method of travel along the rail, which is still the most reliable system available. This method is used with customer safety paramount throughout design and manufacture. You may experience some small bumps or jolts during use of the stairlift; this is normal for this type of technology
