9.2 Handling on stairs
The person who operates this device on stairs, both
going up and down, must possess a certificate of
qualification issued by the manufacturer or an au-
thorised representative, only after having received
direct theoretical and practical training and only after
demonstrating the ability to safely perform all the operations
described in this manual.
The operator and the passenger must be careful not to wear
long scarves or loose clothing; these may get caught in the
device and cause dangerous situations.
Never approach a staircase if the passenger is not in a fully
upright position, (position of movement see USE chapter).
Use the special seat belts to secure the passenger to the
backrest.
Before ascending or descending the staircase, verify the cha-
racteristics of the stairs:
- dimensions of the steps as described in Chapter 7.
- they must not be covered by rugs or fitted carpeting
- they must not be unstable or unfinished, but compact
- they must not have irregular, broken or collapsed edges
- they must not be wet or slippery,
Only wear closed shoes.
Risk of crushing fingers in the mechanical transmission
Make sure that the dimensions of the steps are compa-
tible with the specifications provided (see Chapter 7)
If the steps are not compatible DO NOT attempt to go
up/down them; request information directly from the
manufacturer or an authorised representative.
Make sure the battery has sufficient charge to be able
to perform the job required.
Compulsory use of the seat belts

2 Adjust the potentiometer (10) to the
desired speed. A low speed is advisable
the first few times.
3 Set the movement mode selector switch
(14) (continuous cycle/single step) to the
“single step” position ( ).
In this way, the device will stop on the
next step, even if the button is held down.
If the selector switch is on the ( )
position, on the other hand, the aid will
continue its movement continuously as
long as the button is held down.
4 Check that the emergency button (6) is
released, following the RESET instruc-
tions printed on the button itself.
5 Ensure that the passenger has the seat
belt fastened.
6 Take firm hold of the handlebar and tilt
the device until the step blocking wheels

are inserted; these control the wheel
brakes (4.2) and are therefore very im-
portant for safety.
