• To avoid injury, always verify the Stair-TREAD™ system is locked
in place before transporting the passenger .
• To avoid injury when a passenger weighing more than 200 pounds
is on the chair, use a minimum of two operators to transport on
stairs . If more people are required to safely control the chair, see
page 1-24 for the proper positioning of each helper .
• To avoid injury, always verify the lift handles are locked in place
before using them to lift the chair .
1 . Roll the chair to the stairs and align it squarely with the edge of
the first step .
2 . Foot end operator (if necessary) - Extend the foot end lift handles
by pushing the red release buttons and pulling the handles out
until they stop . Release the buttons and verify the handles are
locked .
3 . Head end operator - Use one hand to pull the red upper control
handle release cable while using the other hand to pull up and
fully extend the handle . Release the cable and verify the handle
is locked on both sides in the fully extended position .
4 . Head end operator - Squeeze the red track release bar against
the black cross tube . Relax your grip on the release bar and
forcefully pull the Stair-TREAD™ system to the fully extended
position until both sides lock securely . Always verify both sides of
the Stair-TREAD™ system are locked by trying to fold it back up .
CAUTION
Release the red track release bar before clicking the Stair-TREAD™
system into the locked position . Failure to follow this procedure could
result in the track failing to lock . Always verify the Stair-TREAD™
system is locked by trying to fold it before descending stairs .
