Stairmax
– mobile stair lift Page 11 out of 18
When reaching the end of the stair, the
Stairmax
has to change back from being
inclined in line with the stairs into a
horizontal position. This requires to find the
right moment of tilting the
Stairmax
. For
each wheelchair driver this point is different,
depending on the body weight of the driver
and the construction type of the wheelchair
used.
The wheelchair driver has to establish his
individual tilting point by slowly approaching
the first upper step. In general the tilting
point is reached when the wheelchair axis
passed the edge of the upper step. Here the
Stairmax
should be stopped and then it has
to be tilted by holding on to the handrail and
pushing the
Stairmax
back.
After the tilting backwards the
Stairmax
should be driven at least 200 mm
backwards before it can be switched again
to Position 1 (Horizontal drive or turning on
landings).
After
reaching
the
landing
between
two
flights
the
Stairmax
has to be changed
from Position 2 to Position 1 to
allow for horizontal driving. To
facilitate the turning on landings
between
stair
flights
the
Stairmax
should drive upstairs
on the inside of the stair as far
as possible.
