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.

2. Controls
This chapter first gives a description of the most important controls.
Secondly, it describes the operation of the stairlift, whereby all the
procedures are dealt with that are part of the daily use.
2.1 Controls
The most important controls of The Flow2 stairlift are:
The call and park stations.
The control unit in one of the armrests.
The lamp on these controls indicates the status of the stairlift (see Chapter
3). The stairlift is also equipped with a main switch and optionally with an
attendant control unit.
-

NOTE
The joystick works like a "dead man's handle". This means
that the joystick must be held in the required direction of
movement throughout the whole of the journey. When the
joystick is released, the stairlift will stop. The stairlift emits an
audio signal for every movement.

2.1.1 Call and park stations
The call and park stations are located at the
top and bottom of the stairs and possibly
at each intermediate floor with a stopping
position. With the call and park stations you
can bring the stairlift to you or sent it to a
parking position.
If you have chosen to be able to put the lift
"out of the way" somewhere halfway down
the stairs, your stairlift will go to this parking
position. This preset parking position (with
charging contact) has been chosen so that
other stairway users are obstructed as little
as possible by the stairlift.
You operate the call and park stations by pressing the joystick. Press the
joystick at the side with the ‘P’ to park the stairlift (see fig. 2/1d). The stairlift
will then go to a pre-programmed parking position and stop there. Press the
joystick at the side with the ‘stairlift symbol’ to bring the stairlift to you (see
fig. 2/1c).

2.1.2 Control unit in armrest
As soon as you insert the joystick in the hole in the control unit, you can,
while sitting on the seat, control the stairlift with a single hand movement.
The control unit is mounted on the left or right armrest.
2.1.3 Main switch
Switching off the power:
The stairlift can be switched on and off with the main switch, for example when
you go on holiday or during a period when you are not home for an extended
period. An illuminated lamp on the drive unit cover indicates that the stairlift is
switched on and ready for use.The stairlift is switched off when this lamp is not lit.

Descent system for emergencies:
With the main switch you can also let the stairlift descend in the unlikely
even that a malfunction occurs and the stairlift stops halfway along the rail.
Pull out the main switch on the rear
of the motor cover as far as possible
to activate the descent system. Keep
the main switch in this position until
the stairlift has arrived at the desired
location. If you release the main switch,
the stairlift will stop.
As a safety precaution, the emergency
descent system will not work after the
stairlift has stopped for a short time at a
charging contact.

2.1.4 Optional attendant control unit
With the optional attendant control unit,
an attendant can easily send the stairlift
upwards and downwards while the user sits
on the stairlift (fig. 2/7).
2.2 Using the stairlift
Starting point: the stairlift is at one of the stopping positions where you are
going to step on.

2.2.1 Charging contacts
Your stairlift works on batteries. Therefore,
always park the stairlift on a charging
contact. The stairlift stops automatically
when it arrives at a charging contact. If
you do not park the stairlift on a charging
contact, the batteries can become empty
and you cannot move the stairlift. In this
case, the stairlift will emit a continuous
audio signal.
2.2.2 Folding out the seat and sitting down
1. Fold down the seat (fig. 2/9).
2. Sit on the seat with your back against the backrest (fig. 2/10).
3. Fold the footplate out by pushing the handle on the frame downwards
and put you feet on the footplate (fig. 2/11). Throughout the journey,
keep your feet on the footplate and your hands away from moving
parts.
4. Fasten the safety belt (fig. 2/12).
5. Fold the two armrests down (fig. 2/13).

2.2.3 Optional: manual or automatic swivel seat
To be able to sit down safely and comfortably, you may have opted for a
manual or an automatic swivel seat.
Option 1: Manual swivel seat:
Before you sit down or stand up, you can
turn the seat in the required direction.
1. Unlock the seat by pulling the swivel
seat handle (fig. 2/14) up.
2. You can now turn the seat in the
required direction.
3. Ensure that you always lock the swivel
seat again before you sit down. You lock
the swivel seat by pushing the handle
downwards.

Option 2: Automatic swivel seat:
Before sitting down and standing up, the
seat will automatically turn in the required
direction when you control the stairlift with
the call and park box or the control unit. It
is also possible for your stairlift to go up the
stairs rotated backwards, and go down the
stairs rotated forwards (see fig. 2/15).
Examples of automatic seat swiveling:
Arriving at the top of the stairs with an
automatic swivel seat:
1. Keep holding the joystick in the
direction of travel until you have
arrived at the top of the stairs. The
stairlift will turn automatically. When
you hear an audio signal, you can
release the joystick and stand up
safely.
2. Folding up the seat.
3. Turn the seat back, out of the way, by pressing the joystick on the call
and park box in the ‘P’ direction (see fig. 2/16).
Sitting down safely with the automatic swivel seat:
1. To be able to sit down comfortably and safely, you can turn the seat
automatically by pressing the button on the call and park box in the
direction of the stairlift symbol (see fig. 2/16).
2. Then sit down on the seat and push the joystick in the armrest in the
required direction of movement. The stairlift will turn back first and
then start moving.

4.1 Cleaning
Clean the stairlift regularly with a clean, slightly moist cloth and
possibly a light cleaning agent.
You can remove the dust particles that collect under the rail during the
running-in period of your stairlift with a vacuum cleaner.
4.2 Replacing the batteries
When the 'C' cell batteries in a control are about to become empty, the lamp
- with joystick operation - on the control concerned will flash green. In that
case, replace the batteries.

4.3 Preventive maintenance
In addition to cleaning the stairlift, regular maintenance is needed to
guarantee that your stairlift will keep working as it should and without
any problems. This maintenance should be carried out by authorized
maintenance technicians. We therefore advise you to take out a maintenance
contract so that you can always be certain that your stairlift will stay in
optimal condition. Contact your supplier for more information about the
maintenance contract.
