4. Repeat the second step.
Pivot the load forward
on the heel of the lift
plate and raise the wheels
to the third stair as shown.
To complete the climb,
repeat the third step and
continue to repeat steps
two and three until the
next floor is reached.

SAFETY FIRST
! NEVER OPERATE THE
MACHINE ON STAIRS WITH ANYONE
BELOW THE LOAD!
NOTE: If you are moving a heavy load on wood stairs, be certain to bring the
the lift plate well onto the stair. Do not set the lift plate down on the
overhanging lip of a wood stair.
B. DESCENDING STAIRS
Descending stairs is a reverse of the stair climbing procedure; however, it will be
necessary to break back the load an additional 3” inches so the lift frame clears the
stair.
When lowering the load you will note that it continues to travel downward for
2” to 4” after the control switch is released. This is by design. The overtravel
allows you to coast onto the next stair. Practice with a light load to develop this
technique.
