Page 13 Stair Climbing
Prior to climbing any staircase, be sure the steps are able to support the weight of the
Lectro-Truck and load before attempting to climb the stairs.
1. Pull the Lectro-Truck, with your load attached, to the base of the steps.
(Figure 5)
Figure 5
2. Push your load slightly forward, keeping the toe plate on the ground.
(You should lean your load just far enough for the wheels to clear the
front of the first step.) Push the load down/ wheels up button, so that the
wheels come to rest on the
second step (figure 6.) Run the wheels up
until they are against the back of the second step.
Figure 6
3. Exert enough pressure downward and back toward you on the top of
the Lectro-Truck, so that the angle of the Lectro-Truck allows the inner
frame to clear the front edge of the bottom step. Push the load up/
wheels down button, and you will bring the load up to the first step.

NOTE
You want to try to place the load about ¼ of the way in from the front of the step. This
helps you maintain proper balance.
NOTE
Many other users have found that it eases the operation if you use your forearm across
the top of the Lectro-Truck to add adequate force to push down and back as described
in #3 above. Example: Use your right forearm on the Lectro-Truck when pushing the
left button; and use your left forearm across the unit when pushing the right button.
