Keep the Track Lubricated
Your home stairlift runs on a track that leads people up and down their staircases. This track needs sufficient lubrication to ensure that it smoothly operates during use. Typically, lubrication should be applied to your stairlift tracks every three months. Your stairlift manufacturer should have some recommendations regarding what lubricant to use.
Use Your Home Stairlift Even When You Don’t Need It
You might not always need to use your home stairlift; nevertheless, it’s important to still use it occasionally. This way, you can ensure that it’s functioning properly, and you’re less likely to encounter surprise breakdowns after extended periods of your stairlift not being in use. A couple of uses per week is all it should take to keep your stairlift operating smoothly.
Get a Yearly Inspection For Your Home Stairlift
It’s always a good idea to have your home stairlift professionally inspected once per year. That’s why you should find a stairlift company in your area that can look over your stairlift’s different components and ensure that everything is working as intended. If you ever believe your stairlift is experiencing issues, you can always call them again to get another look.
