Glide® LBS

4.1  Braked Track System

The EZ-Glide

®

 LBS track system enables operators to 

control the glide of the chair down stairs instead of lifting 

and carrying it. The braked track system aids controlled 

descent and has various levels of braking resistance which 

should be preset prior to descending. 

GUIDELINES FOR USING THE TRACK SYSTEM

● 

Using the chair on stairs requires a minimum of two 

trained operators. Ferno recommends using a third 

person as a “spotter”.

● 

Verify that the track system is fully opened and 

locked into place before using it.

● 

Never lubricate track belts. Lubricated track belts 

can perform unpredictably, resulting in injury to the 

patient and/or operators.

● 

Moisture, water, snow, ice, or debris on or between 

the track and belts can cause irregular track-belt 

performance that results in sudden changes in the 

weight operators must support. Make sure the track 

and track belts are clean and dry before using the 

chair on stairs.

● 

Water, snow, ice, or debris on the stairs can cause 

poor footing for operators. To avoid possible injury, 

clear the stairs or select an alternate route.

Using the Features

 

WARNING

Using the chair with the track unlocked can cause 

injury. Verify that the track is locked before 

transporting the patient.

 

WARNING

Lubricating the track system can result in injury to 

patient and/or operators. Never lubricate the track 

or belts.
