: Push the upper rail section tightly against the lower section. Ensure there is absolutely no gap at the joint, as a gap will cause premature wear on the drive gear and cause the lift to "bump" during travel.
If you're looking for general information or troubleshooting tips, here are some additional resources:
Carefully slide the carriage onto the rail. Ensure the teeth of the carriage drive pinion mesh cleanly with the teeth of the rail's gear rack.
Before unboxing the components, you must assess the staircase to ensure a safe and compliant fit. Measurement Checklist
Listen for any unusual clicking or grinding noises, which indicate an issue with the gear rack alignment.
Once the carriage is secure, the seating and electrical components are integrated. Mount the seat onto the carriage post. Connect the main wiring harness to the battery pack. Plug the battery charger into the rail charging points. Install the armrest controls and key switch. Step 4: Testing and Calibration
Drive the lift to the top and bottom of the rail using the armrest toggle. Ensure it stops automatically and smoothly at both ends via the microswitches.
: Pivot the seat toward the landing. Attempt to drive the lift using the armrest joystick. The unit must not move while the seat is swiveled.
The (often branded under TKE or HomeGlide ) is a straight-rail stairlift designed for quick installation directly onto the stair treads rather than the wall . Levant Installation Overview
Immediately bolt the mechanical end stop back onto the top of the rail. Adjust the bottom mechanical stop. These prevent the carriage from accidentally driving off either end of the track. Step 4: Seat and Footrest Assembly
: Verify the 4.5-inch minimum rail-to-wall clearance.
Space the mounting legs according to the load-bearing points (usually every 2-3 steps).
Usually supplied in two or more sections with joining pins and bolts.
Battery voltage is critically low. Leave the lift on a charging strip for 4–6 hours. Final Safety Checklist
: Power drill, socket set, level, and tape measure.
Check internal 30A fuse; verify battery terminal connections. Lift not charging
Ensure the seat is rotated into its locked, forward-facing travel position.
Ensure you have the following tools on hand before beginning: (specifically 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm) Socket wrench set (10mm, 13mm, and 17mm sockets)
