USING THE POWERTRAXX TO ASCEND STAIRS
1.
Both Operators:
Roll the chair backward near the bottom of the
stairs and engage the wheel locks.
○ Open the track system and verify that it has locked.
○ Operators raise the lift bar and/or extend the foot-end lift
handles to the desired positions and verify that all handles are
locked.
2. Spotter: Stand above the head-end operator with a hand on the
operator’s back to help steady and guide him/her throughout the
ascent (Figure 25).
3.
Head-end Operator:
Disengage the wheel locks.
4.
Both Operators:
Together, tilt the chair back until the top of the
track belts touch the edge of the lowest step of the stairway.
5.
Head-End Operator:
Press the control button to start the
belts moving in the proper direction to ascend the stairs (Figure
25).
6. Both Operators: Together, and using the chair power, allow the
chair to climb the stairway. The tracks should engage two or three
steps. This establishes the glide angle.
7.
Both Operators:
Move in a straight line and at a steady pace up
the stairs, allowing the chair motor to do the work. To maintain
the glide angle as you ascend, 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.
8. Both Operators: Continue moving the chair in a straight line
onto the landing at the top of the stairs, then tilt the chair onto its
wheels as the Head-end Operator stops pressing the
control
button.
9. If the chair has reached the destination, prepare the chair for
rolling by retracting the lift handles and lowering the lift bar to a
comfortable height.
10. To continue the ascent, adjust the lift handles and lift bar as
needed to maneuver the chair to the next stairway.
