Transporting The Passenger Down Stairs - Stryker 6253 Manual De Uso

TRANSPORTING THE PASSENGER DOWN STAIRS

WARNING
• 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 1-25 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.
5. Operators face each other while descending the stairs.
6. Head end operator - Tilt the chair back just far enough to allow
the Stair-TREAD™ system to contact the floor.
