4 2 Indication and intended use
With the stair climber escalino you can transport one person with limited mobility safely and effortlessly
up and down stairs. You can conquer nearly all kinds of stairs and spiral stairs, whether they are inside
or outside. Driving on slopes is also possible.
The stair climber is developed to be operated by one person. This person must be trained and physically
and mentally capable of safely operating the escalino! They must have sufficient vision capability! Minors
below the age of 16 are not allowed to operate the escalino! Minors of at least 16 years are allowed
to operate the escalino, but only under supervision. Please bear in mind that the use of a stair climber
can entail a greater degree of risk and requires more skills than those required to operate a wheelchair.
The life expectancy of the escalino depends on the intensity of the application and is approx. 5 years
under normal use. This statement implies compliance with all prescribed maintenance and service
specifications. The life expectancy can also be exceeded with careful handling. However, this life
expectancy can also be shortened due to overuse and improper handling.
