Minivator / Handicare 1000
Hi
I recently purchased a second hand Stair lift for my grandmother. I went to the house and tested it before purchasing and all seemed fine. I have since brought it home and fit it to her stairs. I tested the lift was working by going up and down a few times and all seemed fine. before finishing I wanted to ensure the end limits worked correctly by taking the lift right to the bottom.
This lift has a sliding rail and when checking it went all the way to the bottom the stair lift hit the floor (not hard and we noticed straight away and let go over the button). I sent the lift back up to the top to check the top limit and then tried to move it down again and the diagnostic display started to show code 6 which seems to relate to the safety edges. The lift then started to show codes 6 and 4 which is both top and bottom safety switches. I have a copy of the engineers manual and I have checked for continuity around all of the switches and all appear to be in the closed position as they should be. Im a little lost now as I cant understand what else could be causing the issue. I cant find any broken cables or switches.
Any help or advise will be appreciated
Thanks
Sean
