3 Operating Instructions
INTRODUCTION
To ensure the safety of the passenger and operator, read these operating
instructions carefully and view the Operator Training video. Practice sessions
should be held on a regular basis (monthly is recommended) to maintain
operator proficiency. In addition, building occupants for whom the Stair-Trac is
provided should be familiar with and comfortable in using Stair-Trac.
The note symbol is used to direct you to a section in this manual containing
additional operating tips.
