,bloody lift wouldent work,:Sad: i cant operate it manually on my own

That's a worry.

Shouldn't you be working on a cunning plan if the power fails and you need to get out ?

Pull switch/es on a rope that does the minimum motor function to get you out ?

Anything like a plane type ramp you could drop ???????

Something like a helicopter winch ?

Parachute ?

hi brian...if push came to shove, the plan of action would be as follows....reverse chair as far back as poss,then select 5th gear on chair,then thrust forward the inside lenth of the van approx 37 ft. then hopefully on impact with the dashboard, i will go flying through the windscreen, then just wait for rescue...simples::bigsmile:::bigsmile:::bigsmile: oh yeah, grab wallet on way out ,just in case i.m conciouse i can go an get a few beers.:thumb::thumb::thumb:
