The Savaria K2 stairlift is a battery-operated model that runs on a straight rail track. If your Savaria K2 starts to run slow and beep you’ll need to call for service. This is likely a problem with the batteries or charging system and needs to be serviced by a Savara stairlift repairman.
Tip: Do NOT turn off the power switch after each trip. Turning off the power switch stops the batteries from charging and this action will eventually drain the batteries.
