USING THE POWERTRAXX TO DESCEND STAIRS
1.
Head-end Operator:
Roll the chair near the stairs and engage the
wheel locks.
2.
Head-end Operator:
Open the track system (See “Track System”
on page 17). Verify that it has locked.
3.
Both Operators:
Raise the lift bar and/or extend the foot-end lift
handles to the desired positions and verify that all handles are
locked.
4.
Spotter:
Stand below the foot-end operator with a hand on the
operator’s back to help steady and guide him/her throughout the
descent (Figure 24).
5.
Head-end Operator:
Disengage the wheel locks.
6.
Both Operators:
Together, tilt the chair back until the belts
engage the floor.
7.
Head-End Operator:
Press
control button to start the power
system in the proper direction to descend the stairs (Figure 24).
8.
Both Operators:
Together, and using the chair power, move the
chair slowly forward and downward until the tracks engage two
or three steps. This establishes the glide angle.
9.
Both Operators:
Move in a straight line and at a steady pace
down the stairs, allowing the motor to do the work. To maintain
the glide angle as you descend, work together and:
○
Head-end Operator:
Apply slight downward pressure on the
extended lift bar.
○
Foot-end Operator:
Apply slight upward pressure on the foot-
end lift handles.
10.
Both Operators:
Continue moving the chair in a straight line to
the bottom of the stairway, then tilt the chair onto its wheels as
the Head-end Operator stops pressing the
control button.
11. If the chair has reached the destination, or if needed to maneuver
the chair to the next stairway:
○
Foot-end Operator:
Retract the foot-end lift handles.
○
Head-End Operator:
Close the track system. Adjust the lift bar
to a comfortable height.
○
Both Operators:
Roll the chair.
12. To continue the descent, reposition the chair to continue the
descent. Use the chair wheels to turn and position the chair for
the next stairway.
