5.6 Paddles
The paddles are affixed to the control panel on the extending
lift bar, where they are accessible to the operator’s hands.
The paddles are labeled with the symbol of a stairway and
an arrow for “descend/down” and “ascend/up” (Figure 15).
The amount of pressure used to press the paddle affects the
speed of the belts. This allows the operator to control the
speed of the chair on stairs.
To use a paddle:
1. Position your hands to comfortably grasp the
extending lift bar, with at least one paddle accessible
to your thumb.
2. Press the top or bottom of either paddle to operate the
powered track system.
