transportation between floors.
• Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move
an unoccupied power wheelchair up or down the stairs.
• Follow this procedure for moving the wheelchair
between floors when an elevator is NOT available:

If stairway or escalator is only means of access,
remove occupant of wheelchair and transport user
and wheelchair separately.
2. Invacare recommends using two assistants
and making thorough preparations prior to
transportation.
3. Ensure that only secure, non-detachable parts are
used for hand-hold supports.
4. Use safe lifting techniques.
5. Remove the batteries from wheelchair. Refer to

.
6. Using non-removable (non-detachable) parts of the
wheelchair, lift the wheelchair off of the ground
and transfer the wheelchair up or down the stairs.
7. The wheelchair should not be lowered until the last
stair has been negotiated and the wheelchair has
been carried away from the stairway.
