Acquired Acorn 180 / Need Direction
Hello Everyone,
I bought an Acorn 180 at a estate sale yesterday for my neighbor who’s 85 yo and getting out of hospital after a serious fall. Unfortunately, I could not test this out because of lack of power and dead batteries I assume. It really looks in mint condition and the fact that she is going to need this to continue to live in her home I had to take the chance. I also know that it was fully functional until the owners demise 4 months prior so the house has been empty.
These are only my ideas of what I’m going to do for this to work in my neighbors house and please any input, suggestions, and advice will be greatly appreciated. I was going to purchase new batteries but will try to charge existing first. Question will a 12v trickle charger work on charging these batteries, closely monitored.? I am mounting this on straight stairway and I’m going to use the option lower track raiser in the permanent down position which I’ll unhook from the main power box. Question: Can I do this and what else would i have to do? I will relocate the bottom park / charger sensor ? to the bottom of track now instead of right above hinge point on track. Question: would that be correct in my thinking? Or is that sensor used to signal the Upper / Lowering of track? It didn’t come with a manual but thanks to this site I have a lot more knowledge than what I did. Again anything else I should know, Please send it to me.
Thanks,
BillyB
