Stannah 420 stops randomly anywhere on the staircase and beeps

Installing a carbon bush on a Stannah 420 stair lift requires some technical knowledge and experience, as it involves working with electrical components. If you are not familiar with stair lift maintenance and repair, it's best to contact a professional technician or Stannah service representative to ensure the proper installation and safety of the carbon bush.
However, if you have the necessary skills and knowledge, follow these general steps to fit a carbon brush to a Stannah 420 stair lift:

1. Safety First: Before starting any work, ensure the stair lift is turned off, and the power supply is disconnected to avoid any electrical accidents.
2. Access the Motor Compartment: Open the motor compartment of the Stannah 420 stair lift. This is usually located under the seat or at the base of the unit. You may need to remove some screws or panels to access the motor area.
3. Locate the Carbon Brushes: The carbon brushes are small, rectangular-shaped components made of carbon and graphite, and they make contact with the motor's armature. Look for the existing carbon brushes, which might have worn down or need replacement.
4. Remove the Old Brushes: Carefully detach the old carbon brushes from their holders. This may require gently pulling them out or undoing some clips or screws that secure them in place. Take note of how the old brushes were positioned so you can properly install the new ones.
5. Install the New Carbon Brushes: Insert the new carbon brushes into their respective holders and secure them in place as per the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure they are positioned correctly and have good contact with the motor armature.
6. Reassemble: Once the new carbon brushes are in place, reassemble the motor compartment by putting back any removed panels or covers and tightening any screws that were undone.
7. Test the Stair Lift: Reconnect the power supply and turn on the stair lift. Test the unit to ensure the new carbon brushes are working correctly and that the stair lift operates smoothly.
8. Regular Maintenance: Carbon brushes wear down over time, so it's essential to perform regular maintenance and inspections to identify when they need replacement. The frequency of replacement depends on the stair lift's usage and other factors.

Again, if you're unsure about any part of this process or lack experience with stairlift maintenance, it's best to seek professional help to ensure the job is done safely and correctly.

hi, one of the main things for the 420 is the replacement of batteries if the stair lift is slowing down , also make sure the charger is working correctly...and keeping the chair at the very top or bottom so the batteries are on charge ready for use...

Checking the brushes, looking at less than 50% wear, making sure there are no large build-up of carbon, if so clean the motor brush area using a electronic contact cleaner .. looking at the teeth on main gear making sure it is clean free of dirt etc..

Looking at the brake that is located on the end of the motor making sure once again it gripping and the chairlift once it has stopped does not slip or move slightly ...Electronic contact cleaner here if you feel it dragging, a nice loud click is required here as that's telling you the brake is running freely...

Regards
Mick

I would always advise a professional to service the stair lift on a yearly basis...

Please put your questions in the right category. This was in Digital Cameras. Never saw a lift making any picture.

Me too! Just started doing this randomly when no-one was anywhere near it

If the beeper beeped at 300 then it will beep at the Lowest Common Denominator. The LCD for 8, 10, and 12 is 120. So add that 120 to 300 and you end up at 420. The Beepers will next Beep at 420.
