I'm looking at adding a resistor or bulb inside an Acorn stair lift
motor housing to keep the temperature about 40degF. The unit is in an
unheated area and temps get too low for the motor to turn normally. I
considered an electric blanket or pad but having an elderly person
messing with something on the stairs is not a good idea. Also,
there's the issue of having a separate part and cord to deal with.

I'd look first at the warranty, second at the installation
instructions, and third at the lubricant.
