Stair lifts California are renowned for their quality, ease of use
and price. I prefer the American Elevators when it comes to stair lifts. I have
been loyal to them and they have been attentive to all my issues over a period
which spans at least 10 years.

Glitches
in stair lifts occur with time. It is not uncommon for stair lifts to have a
few simple problems once every 6 months or so. Thanks to the helpful
technicians of American Elevators, I have learned how to do simple maintenance
and repair without calling the repair team.

Common
issues with stair lifts for the elderly California occur in the final or upper limit actuator tab. With the stair
lifts operating on a regular basis, the tab gets hiked up to the extreme end of
the rail. The unit is bumped loose by the chair unit over time and can be
easily tapped back into place using the cylindrical hand-crank tool provided by
the manufacturer. Sometimes, you will
observe, the seat gets positioned all the way up to the top. This causes the actuator
to move higher up every time the seat makes its journey. Access the side
maintenance panel on the unit and using the crank tool reposition it a notch
lower so that it does not make contact with the actuator.
·
All
of this happens because of a loose top level cam switch, which is responsible
for limiting the seats ascend within a certain limit. This switch is supposed
to stop the seat from touching the final limit actuator. When the switch fails
in its purpose, the actuator is displaced, thus stopping the stair lifts California from operating the way it is supposed to.
·
Another
common and easily rectifiable issue with stair lifts is the clogging of the
tracks with dust or debris that collects over prolonged period of use and no
maintenance. There is nothing much to this. A simple vacuum cleaner is good
enough for the job. Move the seat to the extremes (at the top or the bottom)
and use the vacuum cleaner to suck all the dust and debris from the nooks and
corners.
Cleaning kits are available for removing grime
from the rails. These are available for cheap at local stores or sellers of stairlift California. American Elevators is my choice on this
matter. They are much more than just stair lifts sellers. They are a
full-fledged home and commercial mobility solutions provider and the best the
people of California can expect.
