Description Of Operation
The Acorn 80 Stairlift comprises a seat (1) and
footrest (6), mounted on a motor driven carriage (9).
All Stairlifts are provided with a Seatbelt (11)
The Stairlift is operated with a Holding Switch

Edges (5 & 6) stop the Stairlift if they strike
an obstruction.
Seat Swivel Release Paddles (10) allow the
User to swivel the seat around when alighting
and dismounting.
The arms (2), seat and footrest can be folded up when
the lift is not in use to give access past the Stairlift.
The carriage runs on a support rail (8) fitted to one
side of the staircase. Charging Plates (7) automatically
re-charge the internal batteries when the Stairlift
is parked.
Rechargeable batteries, located inside the carriage,
power the 24 volt direct-current (DC) motors. Internal
motors include the main drive motor, levelling
mechanism motor and optional powered items.
A hinged rail section may be fitted to allow access past
the lift at the bottom of the stairs.
A Diagnostic Display (4) provides information during
normal operation and programming, together with a
comprehensive list of codes should a fault occur.
