Stairlifts and the environment
Batteries
The stairlift contains two batteries, each 12 V (7 Ah), to provide
the motor with power. These batteries may only be replaced
by authorized maintenance technicians. There are also 'C' cell
batteries in the call and park stations and the control unit. You
may replace these batteries yourself (see Chapter 4).
Do not dispose of old batteries with domestic refuse, but hand
them in when you buy the new batteries. If this is not possible,
contact your local municipality to find out where you can hand in
the used batteries.
Disposal of the stairlift
Stairlifts that are no longer used can generally, after
consultation with the dealer, be taken back. If this is not
possible, find out from your local government administration
what the possibilities are for return, re-use or environmentally-
friendly disposal of the materials.
