How we repair your Acorn Stair Lift
A stair lift is a motorized chair that travels along a rail mounted to the stairs, carrying a seated person between floors on battery or mains power. A stair lift uses a drive motor or hydraulic pump, a drive system of chains, belts, screws or cables, limit switches, safety sensors and a control board. A technician checks power and controls, safety devices, and the condition and alignment of the drive system.

- Charger output and contact condition are measured at each charge point.
Jerky or noisy travel

Stops partway up the stairs

Chair does not move
- Likely causes
- Batteries that are not charging, a seat swivel or footrest not locked in the travel position, or a tripped safety edge.
- What our technician checks

Quick checks you can do safely
- Make sure the key switch is on and the chair power switch is on.
- Lock the seat in the forward travel position and fold the footrest down fully.
- Clear items off the stairs and rail.
- Park the chair on the charging point and check the charger is plugged in.
- Replace the batteries in the call remotes.
Safety first: Do not ride the lift if it moves unevenly or a safety sensor is damaged, and never let children play on it.
