Keeping Stairlift in Perfect Working Order

  1. Keep the track clean. A dirty track can cause the chair to get stuck or to even fall off the track.
  2. Lubricate it regularly. You should lubricate the track every 3 months and the swivel chair every 6 months to prevent deterioration caused by friction.
  3. Inspect moving parts monthly. Make sure the chair is not loose or wobbly, and that the wheels all rotate freely. If there’s a trailing cable check it for signs of damage.
  4. Check bolts. Tighten any that need tightening.
  5. Check your battery’s charge. They should be charged completely and, depending on usage, typically need to be replaced every 1 to 2 years.
