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 environmentallyfriendly disposal of the materials.

1. Introduction
1.1 General description
Flow2 is a custom-made stairlift with which you can safely, comfortably and
ascend and descend the stairs without any physical exertion. The stairlift is
suitable for the transportation of a maximum of one person per journey.
The stairlift is driven by an electric motor and is equipped with rechargeable
batteries. The batteries are recharged at the stopping positions (at the top
and bottom of the stairs) and at any extra parking positions and intermediate
floors.
The stairlift can be controlled in two ways:
Seated on the stairlift, the stairlift can be controlled with the joystick in
the control unit in the right or left armrest.
To fetch or park at or from another position on the rail, you can use the
call and park box. The call and park stations are located at the top and
bottom of the stairs and possibly at (optional) intermediate stopping
positions. The call and park box can be operated with the joystick.
