A+ Stairlifts of Pittsburgh offers Brooks Superglide Stairlifts for home accessibility.

12. Swivel Seat
• The Stairlift seat swivels and locks in position at 45 and 90 degrees and puts users fee
firmly on to the top landing area making getting on and off the seat easier and safer.
• The Stairlift will not operate unless the seat is in the correct riding position. (Back
against the wall)

13. • Regular Seat Rated to 300 LBS
• Wider Seat Rated to 350 LBS
• Seat arms can be adjusted to extend wider by 1” either side (17.5” to 19.5”)
• 24” is needed to park the lift at the bottom of the steps. 28.5” if the wider seat is
being used.
• Wide seats will not swivel in very narrow staircases. The 17.5” seat needs a
minimum width of 26” to turn the full 90⁰. A 19.5” seat would require 28.5”

Control Operation

15. HOW IS THE PLAN
DIFFERENT?
• Acorn stairlifts have a soft start and soft stop.
• Remote controls allow users to ‘call’ or ‘send’ the lift up and down the staircase. We
provide two remote controls with each stairlift.
Remote Controls

16. • Our focus on safety features ensures we provide the best seatbelts for our
customers.
• Acorn stairlifts have retractable seat belts except on the outdoor model.

17. Multiple safety edges ensure that the stairlift will stop immediately if an obstruction
is encountered on the staircase.
Safety Sensors

18. • Acorn Stairlifts come equipped with an over speed governor. If an emergency
situation ever occurred the OSG would prevent the lift from traveling down at
excessive speed.
• The OSG uses electrical and mechanical stops.

28. Power Outlets
• Please make sure that the customer is aware that a power outlet will be
required for the Stairlift installation.
• If two straight Stairlifts are installed, each one must have its own separate
power outlet. Two Stairlifts cannot be linked into one outlet. However a power
strip can be used to supply both lifts.
• If the closest outlet is too far for our cord to reach (approx 20ft), the client
must provide a temporary extension cords to use. We highly suggest that the
client utilize an electrician for a permanent outlet to be installed.
