- MODELS 225 & 230
The manufacturer has issued the following notice:
Swivel Seat Safety Modification
Effective to all straight Models 225 and 230 manufactured from March
1991 to September 1998.
The swivel seat can become detached from the carriage under extreme
circumstances of overload, abuse or excessive use. This is due to
fatigue and has occurred in a few instances with stairlifts permanently
in use since 1993.
Stannah are recommending the fitting of a safety device during routine
service. This is a bolt which will ensure that the seat cannot become
detached.

Swivel Switch Modification
Effective to all straight Models 230 manufactured from May 1995 to
September 1998.
The setting of the swivel seat release levers may become misaligned and
allow the lift to operate with the chair in its swivelled position.
Stannah are recommending the fitting of a small spring clip during
routine service which will correct this setting.
Stannah will supply all the parts required together will full
instructions. The modification should be fitted to all stairlifts which
could be prone to this problem.
