6. Safety instructions
6.1 Installation, handling and repair
Do not attempt to install or repair your FlexStep lift yourself. This MUST be done by an
authorised service technician. Do NOT remove protective plates or safety plates, as this could
lead to your lift causing personal injury.
The lift will normally be delivered by a dealer, who will also be responsible for the installation.
Do not attempt to move the lift manually as this could lead to personal injury. The product
must be moved and handled using lifting equipment that is suitable for the purpose (pallet lifters,
roller plates etc.).
The lift must not be subjected to strong impacts/bumps, as this could affect its functionality.
6.2 Unintended movements of the lift
If, while using the lift, actions or movements not described in this manual occur, the lift must be
brought to a stop and technical assistance called for.
If the lift does not move on a true horizontal plane as a platform, it must be calibrated by moving
the platform down to the lower level. If the problem continues, summon technical assistance.
6.3 Operating conditions
The free space under the lift must be kept free of all items/objects that could prevent it moving
in a downward direction. Otherwise, the lift cannot be moved to the lowest level and cannot
therefore be used as a wheelchair lift.
If an item/object prevents the lift from moving in a downward direction, the anti-crushing safety
feature will be activated (see section 6.7).
6.4 Avoid personal injury
The FlexStep lift must NOT be converted from a staircase to a platform or the other way round
when persons or objects are on the staircase.
In order to avoid personal injury it is NOT permitted to use the lift when anyone is in danger
of being injured as a result of crushing, cutting, falling or tripping etc.
It is important for the user/operator to ensure that the lift can move without putting anyone
or anything in danger.
Be extra careful when small children, elderly people or disabled people are on or in the vicinity
of the staircase/platform, as these groups cannot always be expected to be able to foresee the
potential consequences of the movements of the staircase/platform.
