USER MANUAL – FLEXSTEP V2 – US VERSION 1.3

1. Foreword

Congratulations on your new FlexStep V2 –an aesthetic and innovative 2-in-1 solution providing you with both an ordinary staircase and a sophisticated wheelchair lift – be it in your home, office or other place.

This is an original user manual for your new FlexStep V2.

It is important to read this manual before using the lift

Setup and installation MUST be undertaken by a qualified Liftup service technician, so as to ensure correct assembly. Improper assembly can lead to unintended risk of personal injury.

FlexStep V2 is an elegant combination of regular stairs and wheelchair lift, which easily provides wheelchair users and the walking-impaired access between two levels.

The lift is easy to operate using operating panels mounted on the wall, on the lift, or by means of a remote control.
