Step 6: Install one of the rack pre-compression screws in the threaded hole in the top plate of the rail, and tighten it as firmly as possible by hand with a 5/32” Allen wrench.
There are three (3) kinds of pre-compression screws:
1. 1/2” for tracks under 6’
2.
3.
3/4” for tracks between 6’ and 12’
1” for tracks over 12’
Step 7: Plug in the battery charger at either end of the rail, depending on the closest or most convenient location of a wall power supply. Minimize wire length and intrusion.
E. FOOTREST & SEAT INSTALLATION
Step 1: Remove footrest from box and use the installation switch to drive the chassis downward to a position about 6” clear of the floor. This will provide a safe area to install and adjust the footrest. Do not drive the unit into bottom stop.
Step 2: Turn the red “ON/OFF” switch located on the top of the chassis to the
“OFF” position (0).
Step 3: Position the footrest onto the two (2) seat-leveling bolts on the outside of the chassis by aligning the large opening at the slot ends of the footrest.
Step 4: Ensure the footrest is fully engaged.

Step 5: Check that the height of the seat base is correctly set for the intended user.
A seat height guide is provided behind the plastic footrest shroud. Consult with the client and use an existing chair or walker with armrests as a guide.
If the height of the seat needs to be adjusted, loosen and remove the four (4) bolts on the sides of the seat base using a 5/32” Allen wrench. Adjust the seat base up or down relative to the footrest structure until the holes align, then replace and securely tighten the four (4) bolts.
Step 6: Connect the footrest cable to the 6-pin connector on the chassis.
Step 7: Position the keyed seat swivel post in the hole in the seat base hole closest to the top of the stairs. Securely tighten the two (2) bolts on the sides of the hold using a
5/32” Allen wrench.
Step 8: Use the supplied white plastic plugs to secure the vertical footrest shroud to the main footrest cover plate.
Step 9: Position the seat directly aligned over the carriage and place onto the seat swivel post. Depress the swivel lever until the seat is fully engaged with the swivel post. Check the swivel lever to test the locking mechanism. THE SYSTEM WILL NOT
FUNCTION IF PROPER ENGAGEMENT IS NOT ACHIEVED.
Step 10: Connect the seat cable to the 8-pin connector on the chassis.
tiP!
When the 6-pin footrest and the 8-pin chair cables are both connected to the chassis, the black installation switch on the chassis is disabled and will not function.

Step 11: The armrest control is factory set for right-hand operation. If the user prefers to operate the armrest controls with their left hand, loosen the single screw on the underside of each armrest and slide each armrest upwards.
Disconnect the plug on the armrest control, switch the armrests, and reconnect the plug. Replace armrests and tighten screws.
Step 12: If the lift is equipped with the optional key lock, ensure that the key switch on the armrest control is in the locked position (with the key in the vertical position)
Step 13: Turn the red “ON/OFF” switch located on the top of the chassis to the
“ON” (I) position. You should hear a single beep and the LED indicator light on the armrest control should cycle through a test sequence, showing red, yellow and green respectively. If any of the system controls or safety sensors are engaged the LED indicator light will turn to yellow.
Step 14: If the LED indicator light is not green, check the safety senors:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Seat swivel sensor (seat should be in the locked position)
Footrest lower sensor (check by pushing in on the safety pan on the footrest)
Upper foot pan safety sensor (check by pushing on the safety pan on the footrest).
Front foot pan safety sensor (check by pushing on the safety pan on the footrest).
Uphill safety sensor (ensure nothing is blocking upward passage)
Downhill safety sensor (ensure nothing is blocking downward passage)
If the LED indicator light is still not green after testing sensors, turn the unit off and recheck all wire plugs. Turn the unit on again and recheck the LED indicator light cycle. When the LED indicator light remains green the lift is ready to operate.
