7.3 Extending Lift bar
The rear operator uses the lift bar to guide and steer the chair
when rolling the chair and to control the chair on stairs. The
lift bar also contains the control panel with the paddles that
control the powered track system (See
Paddles,
page 17).
The lift bar adjusts to five locked positions (Figure 34).
Adjust the height according to operator preference and the
task or situation at hand.
