  1. How to Maintain Your Platform Stair Lift for Longevity A platform stair lift is a crucial mobility solution for individuals with disabilities or limited mobility, providing safe and smooth access between different levels of a home or building. To ensure that your stair lift remains in top working condition for years, regular maintenance is essential. At Stairlift World, we believe that proper care and upkeep can significantly extend the lifespan of your platform stair lift while preventing costly repairs. Below, we provide a comprehensive guide on maintaining your stair lift to keep it running efficiently and safely. 1. Clean Your Platform Stair Lift Regularly

  2. Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on the platform, rails, and mechanical parts, affecting the performance of your stair lift. To prevent this: ● Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the platform, seat (if applicable), and control buttons. ● Clean the rails with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup. ● Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the lift’s components. 2. Lubricate the Moving Parts Proper lubrication ensures that the platform stair lift operates smoothly. Over time, friction can cause wear and tear, leading to malfunctions. To keep the lift running efficiently: ● Apply a manufacturer-approved lubricant to the rails every few months. ● Do not over-lubricate, as excessive oil can attract dust and dirt. ● If you hear unusual noises while using the stair lift, check if lubrication is needed. 3. Check the Battery and Electrical Connections Most platform stair lifts operate on rechargeable batteries to function during power outages. Ensuring that the battery is in good condition is crucial for uninterrupted use: ● Charge the battery regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. ● Look for warning indicators or beeping sounds that may signal a low battery. ● If the battery drains too quickly, consider replacing it with a new one from Stairlift World. ● Inspect the electrical connections for any loose or damaged wires. 4. Test Safety Features and Controls

  3. Safety is a top priority when using a platform stair lift. Regularly testing the safety features ensures that the lift functions correctly in case of an emergency: ● Check the emergency stop button to confirm it responds properly. ● Test the sensors by placing an object on the platform to see if the lift stops as expected. ● Ensure that the seat belt (if applicable) locks securely. ● If any safety feature is not working, contact Stairlift World for professional servicing. 5. Inspect the Rails and Platform for Damage Over time, the rails and platform may develop wear and tear, which can impact the stair lift’s stability and performance. To prevent accidents: ● Look for any visible cracks, rust, or damage on the rails. ● Make sure the platform remains level and stable. ● Tighten any loose screws or bolts. ● If significant damage is found, schedule an inspection with Stairlift World. 6. Keep the Area Around the Lift Clear Obstructions on or near the platform stair lift can pose safety hazards. To maintain a safe and functional lift: ● Remove any objects, such as shoes, bags, or furniture, from the stairway. ● Keep pets and children away from the lift when in use. ● Ensure there is no water or moisture buildup on the platform to prevent slipping. 7. Schedule Professional Maintenance While regular home maintenance is crucial, professional servicing is necessary to ensure optimal performance. At Stairlift World, we recommend: ● Annual inspections by a certified technician.

  4. ● Routine servicing to detect and fix potential issues before they worsen. ● Professional repairs if the lift experiences mechanical problems.
