• Always use all restraint straps to secure the occupant on the product. An unrestrained occupant may fall from the
product and be injured.
• Do not apply a wheel lock when an occupant is on the product or when you move the product to avoid the risk of tipping.
• Always avoid getting dirt or other obstructions inside the tracks. The S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system may not work the same on all
stair surfaces and in all environmental conditions. Based on conditions, you may encounter varying amounts of
resistance. Water, ice, or debris on the stairs can affect operator footing and proper operation of the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D
system. To avoid injury, clear the path or consider an alternate route. Condensation, water, ice, or debris on the S S t t a a i i r r - -
T T R R E E A A D D system can cause unpredictable performance that results in a sudden change in the weight the operators must
support.
• Do not allow untrained helpers to assist in the operation of the product. Untrained helpers may cause injury to the
occupant or themselves.
• Always transport an occupant weighing more than 200 lb on stairs with a minimum of two trained operators.
• Do not attempt to transport occupant loads greater than what you can safely lift.
