We purchased this unit used. It worked before we took it out of the home. Rode

They'll probably give free advice on the phone and if they have to come

Off-topic: What is a hinged rail? "If you have a hinged rail make sure
the rail is fully lowered and locked in position." This sounds like a

rail. We did not receive a hand crank. We have now hooked the power back up.
The chair and rail have power sitting on the floor upright on the brackets.
The chair of course is sitting at an angle because the rail isn't going up the

on the other side of the stairs. It will work on the left side, but would be
best on the right side. Any HELP appreciated!
