Regular maintenance of your stairlift is important to its function and lifespan, it keeps them running smoothly for longer, so that you can get as much assistance from your stairlift as possible. Meaning you have a high-quality lift that you know you can rely on.

Cleaning Regularly

Every Hanover stairlift across Devon, requires methodical cleaning and maintenance, which is vital and can affect its performance. Dusting the rails, controls and seat can help this, alongside using a cloth or non-abrasive cleaner for more stubborn grime. The footrest should also be cleaned to prevent a build-up of dust or dirt, which can also allow the ride to feel more comfortable. However, when cleaning, the stairlift should always be positioned at the bottom of the stairs, as this will prevent any harsh accidental trips or falls. This process should typically take place every week or a couple of weeks, to ensure that the stairlift is clean, hygienic and in good working order.

Battery Maintenance

Battery-powered stairlifts should be observed consistently, in order to know when the charge level will drop. This will typically occur after 2 to 5 years, meaning the batteries are then able to be replaced on time or purchased from your branch in Devon, so that it does not run out of charge midway through a ride. This process ensures that your stairlift is reliable and always operates as intended, which will reduce the likelihood of an unexpected breakdown. However, if this does occur and the user manual or battery replacements aren’t working, then contacting your local branch in Devon will allow a professional to come out to you and assess the problem.

Inspect Condition and Surroundings

Whilst all Hanover stairlifts in Devon feature built-in obstruction sensors, which allow the stairlift to stop moving if it senses an object in its path, it is still important to ensure that the tracks are always kept clear. This will make sure that every ride is uninterrupted and seamless, and prevents any damage to the lift. The tracks should also be cleaned to make sure that no build-up of debris or dust has occurred, for a smooth, easy ride.
