Using the Chair

5.3  Transferring the Patient

Always assist the patient onto and off from the chair.

Make sure the footrest is in the storage position.

practices and following local protocols.

4. 

Fasten and adjust the torso and lap restraints.

2.

3.

practices and following local protocols.

5.4  Rolling the Chair

GENERAL GUIDELINES

● 

Roll the chair on smooth, flat surfaces whenever 

possible.

● 

For patient comfort, pull the chair backward over 

low obstacles such as door sills.

● 

Use the extending rear handle and telescoping 

front handles to manoeuvre around and over small 

obstacles, rough surfaces and rough terrain, but 

only where possible and where enough operators 

are available to safely control the chair, taking into 

consideration manual handling protocols and 

potential risks. 

● 

Wherever possible use the tracks on the chair to 

manoeuvre the chair down over curbs or single 

steps.

TO ROLL THE CHAIR

1. 

Head-End Operator:

 

Release the wheel locks.

2. 

Head-End Operator:

 

Adjust the rear handle to a 

comfortable height and grasp it to push and guide 

the chair on all four wheels, or tilt the chair back and 

roll it on its rear wheels. 

3. 

Foot-End Operator:

 

Assist the head-end operator 

as needed and attend the patient.

5.5  Gliding the Chair Down Stairs

GENERAL GUIDELINES

● 

Using the chair on stairs requires a minimum of two 

operators. Use additional help as needed to control 

the chair. 

● 

Ferno recommends that the two operators face each 

other when transporting a patient down stairs and 

that an optional  third trained person “spot” is used 

for the foot-end operator.  

● 

For heavier-weight patients over around 150 kgs it 

is recommended that 4 operators are always used, 

and this should be assessed according to the patient 

being transferred. 

● 

Check that the stairway is stable and carpet or stair 

covering is firmly attached to the stairs.

● 

Remove any water, ice, snow, or debris from the 

stairs before using the chair on them.

● 

Remove any water, ice, snow, or debris from the 

track and tread belts before using the chair on stairs.

● 

Verify that the track is locked in the open position 

before starting down the stairs with the chair.

OVERVIEW OF BRAKING SYSTEM

1. 

The braking system on EZ-Glide® LBS is designed 

to maintain direct control when transporting the 

chair and occupant downstairs for a wide range of 

patient weights, allowing the operator to increase 

or decrease the braking force required according to 

the weight of the patient being moved and the stair 

type and angle of stair being negotiated down.

2. 

The track belt system on the chair creates friction 

between the belt and the track frame, giving a 

certain level of braking when going down stairs; 

this is the basis by which all track chairs function 

and operate. However with heavier-weight patients 

that are typically  carried on EZ-Glide LBS, to sustain 

a controlled descent more braking may be required 

additional to that of the “track belt system”, hence 

the inclusion of a brake system on EZ-Glide LBS.
