When you need to climb spiral stairs, the single step mode
is particularly useful. As stated in chapter 4.6, there it is
indispensable to advance the scalamobil’s outer wheels to
the edge of the following step. When you activate the single
step switch, you automatically prevent an erroneous initiation
of the climbing cycle before the scalamobil’s wheels are all
the way at the edge. Therefore, the climbing and descending
becomes even safer for both the person operating the
scalamobil and the person being transported.
For persons unskilled in operating the scalamobil, we
recommend to activate the single step switch also for
climbing regular stairs.
If you continuously push the driving switch [2],
the wheels complete one rotation. As soon as
you release the driving switch [2] the wheels
come to a standstill, also when the single step is
activated.

Climbing Stairs in Single Step Mode
In chapters 4.2 and 4.3 you have been introduced in detail
to the individual steps to climb stairs safely. By pushing
the driving switch [2] continuously the scalamobil’s wheels
begin moving; releasing the switch results in the immediate
standstill of the wheels. A continuous use is also possible
simply by keeping the driving switch [2] pressed.
When you activate the single step switch [12], the climbing
process is slightly different:
· Pushing the driving switch [2] permanently also results
in the rotation of the scalamobil’s wheels; however, after
one full rotation they automatically come to the correct
parallel position, even if you still press the driving switch
[2].
· To continue climbing or descending you need to release
the driving switch [2] and push it continuously once more
to initiate the scalamobil’s next climbing cycle.
