9 Descending Stairs

PREPARING TO DESCEND STAIRS
Position the Super-Trac so that it is at
right angles to the stairs.
Put the key switch on the control panel in
the ON position (
│
) and press the upper
part of the platform tilt switch until the
platform is tilted back as far as it will go.
The platform of the Super-Trac will tilt,
bringing it into the correct position for
going down the stairs.
The Super-Trac will not go down when the
drive thumb buttons are pressed unless
the floor is tilted as far as it will go.
When there is not much room on the
landing, make sure that the warning mark
on the bright yellow labels on the platform
does not protrude over the edge of the
stairs.
Yellow warning label
WARNING
If you push the Super-Trac
too far towards the edge of
the stairs, past the warning
mark on the bright yellow
labels on the platform, the
front castor wheel could drop
off the landing onto the
stairs. Use extreme caution
when rolling Super-Trac near
the edge of the stairs.
