Flow2 stairlift91. Introduction1.1 General descriptionFlow2 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 oors.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 unit. The call and park units are located at the top and bottom of the stairs and possibly at (optional) intermediate stopping positions. The call and park unit can be operated with the joystick.

Flow2 stairlift112. ControlsThis chapter rst 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 ControlsThe most important controls of the Flow2 stairlift are: - The call and park units. - 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.NOTEThe 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.
ControlsFlow2 stairlift122.1.1 Call and park units The call and park units are located at the top and bottom of the stairs and possibly at each intermediate oor with a stopping position. With the call and park units 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 units by pressing the joystick. Press the joystick at the side with the ‘P’ to park the stairlift (see g. 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 g. 2/1c).Fig. 2/1: Call and park unita. joystickb. status lamp c. calling the stairliftd. parking the stairlifta.DbCNOTETo operate the stairlift with the call and park units, the joystick needs to be inserted in the armrest control. Otherwise, the stairlift will not work.
Flow2 stairlift132.1.2 Control unit in armrestAs 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, depending on which is the lower side of the stairs. 2.1.3 Main switchSwitching 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.Fig. 2/3: Inserting the joystickFig.2/2: Control unit with various joysticks Fig. 2/4: Main switchon: pull out off: push inFig. 2/5: Status lamp on the motor coverFig. 2/2: Armrest control with various joysticks
ControlsFlow2 stairlift14Descent 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.Fig. 2/6: Making the lift descend in an emergencyWARNINGThe descent system is not intended for everyday use.
Flow2 stairlift152.1.4 Optional attendant control unitWith the optional attendant control unit, an attendant can easily send the stairlift upwards and downwards while the user sits on the stairlift (g. 2/7).2.2 Using the stairliftStarting point: the stairlift is at one of the stopping positions where you are going to step on.Fig. 2/7: Attendant control unitNOTEFor operation, the control unit in the armrest always has priority over the other controls.CAUTIONRead the safety instructions carefully before using the stairlift.NOTERemember that all of the controls act like "dead man's handles". As soon as you release the joystick, the stairlift will stop immediately.
ControlsFlow2 stairlift162.2.1 Charging contactsYour 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 down1. Fold down the seat (g. 2/9).2.
