TRANSPORTING THE PASSENGER UP STAIRS
WARNING
• 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 bottom of the stairs with the passenger's back
to the stairs .
2 . Foot end operator - extend the foot end lift handles by pushing the
red buttons and pulling the handles until they stop . Release the
button and verify the handle is locked .
3 . Head end operator - unfold the head end lift handles .
4 . The foot end operator faces up the stairs . The head end operator
may either face backward for improved passenger monitoring or
forward for an improved view of the stairs and easier maneuvering
around obstacles .
Note: Although the head end operator can face either direction
while carrying, any applicable protocols for carrying chairs should
be followed .
5 . Both operators - simultaneously lift the chair, using the head and foot
end lift handles and following proper lifting techniques (see
