Nice video. I might just encourage folks NOT to jump out the safety micro switches on a unit that is going to be in actual use since a DIYer can tend to look up these videos and want to just jump out these mechanisms that will keep your pet or the user’s ankles and feet safe vs paying a dealer or tech to swap them, but jumping out limits on a unit removed from service is often a great way to troubleshoot switch failures, quickly-especially when these are more isolated in the housing and harder to access. Most of these limits are fairly inexpensive to replace, at least with the manufacturers we work with. We don’t sell ACORN so I can’t speak for them. It seems like a vast majority of stairlift service calls are safety limit switch engagement or the unit needs a reset following an outage, which are easily troubleshot over the phone. Also, batteries last longer when they are frequently used (think 3-6x daily vs weekly). We often encourage homeowners who have had one installed for a loved one that occasionally visits to use theirs a few times a week just to ‘exercise’ the SLA/AGM batts.

Would you be able to advise about wiring at all?

can the trac be cut to fit ?
