2 Things to Check Before Calling Your Chair Lift Mechanic
The chair stair lift is a very handy piece of equipment to invest in for the disabled and those with a debilitating illness.
This piece of hand controlled mobile joy comes with a price as with everything in life.
Not only the price tag but also the maintenance cost.
What should you know about your new freedom vehicle? And the very next question usually is, how expensive are the repairs or can I repair my own chair lift? If you are like most people, you are wondering how readily available are the parts for your stair lift and can I do it myself (DIY).
Or if something major happens is there a service repair shop close by that can service your chair lift.
Without a doubt, those are great concerns, however with today's resources( technology) the answers are right at your finger tips with a click of the mouse.
And since most of the chair lifts basically have the same parts, that makes it easy for repairing.
So easy that you do not have to have a degree in mechanical engineering or a PHD from MIT to understand the mechanics of your chair lift.
If you can read and have patience you will be up and running in no time flat.
Even if that means calling someone else to do your dirty work.
Before trying to be your own mechanic, you may want to check your warranty.
Chair lifts warranties can extend up to 24 months and sometimes even more.
Why come out of repairman retirement when you can just pick up the phone and call your handy repairman.
Although, warranties typically cover just the parts and not the labor it still may be worth it.
According to research the most common repair calls are those of callers frantically explaining how their chair lift won't budge.
As you can imagine that has to be very frustrating, and an adrenaline rising - short fuse experience.
(to put it mildly) After investing for a mobile people mover you expect mobility at the touch of a button.
But that is just part of the story; the most common solution, offered to the frantic callers, is to check to see if their battery is charged.
(most callers have an uncharged battery).
Here is the moral of that story.
Before calling your repair center be sure to check your battery to be sure that it's charged.
That will save you time, and frustration.
The next common repair problem is a faulty safety switch.
That should be the very next thing you should examine before your blood begins to boil or before breaking out your tool kit.
No doubt about it, you do not need a PHD.
So before you call your repairman...
inspect your battery for a full charge or check to see if you have a faulty safety switch.
However, if there is a safety concern with your chair lift, by all means call for professional help.
