How to Take Care of Your Stairlift
Taking care of your stairlift is essential to extending its lifespan and ensuring it operates safely. Here are a few simple maintenance tips to keep your stairlift in excellent condition:
Clean Regularly: Dust and dirt can accumulate on the track and mechanisms, affecting performance. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the stairlift regularly. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage components.
Check for Unusual Noises: If your stairlift begins making new or unusual sounds, it may be time for an inspection. Unaddressed noises can signal wear or potential mechanical issues.
Ensure the Track Is Clear: Make sure there are no obstructions on the stairlift’s track. Small items or debris can interfere with the smooth operation of the lift.
Always Keep The Stairlift Plugged In And Turned On: Your stairlift draws power off the batteries even when it’s plugged in. Make sure to always leave it plugged in and turned on to keep the batteries fully charged.
Slow Or Sluggish Stairlift: If your stairlift is running slower than normal or feels sluggish, it may be time for new batteries. Contact us for service if you notice this happening.
Schedule Routine Maintenance: Regular servicing by a professional can catch small issues before they become larger problems. We recommend an annual maintenance visit to keep your stairlift running smoothly.
