Press ascend / descend button briefly again until the indicator light flashes green.
The Powered Stair Climber is now in the descend mode and the support wheels will
move to the descend position automatically. The round up switch is now non-
functional.
With the support wheels in the descend position, the Powered Stair Climber can be
rolled over the step and the support wheels will lower the Powered Stair Climber
onto the next step down. When the main wheels land on the lower step, the
support wheels automatically rotate to the descend position for the descent onto
the next step, all within approximately half a second.
During the descent, the indicator light changes to constant red. After reaching the
descend position, the indicator light changes back to flashing green.
!
Caution !
As soon as the Powered Stair Climber rolls off the step, be sure the main wheels
are kept against the rise until the support wheels reach the descend position.
Just before the swing arm reaches the descending position, the support wheels
reach the upper edge of the stair and lift the Powered Stair Climber approximately
half an inch.
In the case of closed risers with low steps the support wheels may touch the stair
riser and the Powered Stair Climber could move approximately 3 to 4 inches
forward. This is normal as the Powered
Stair Climber prepares to advance to the
next step.
It is unnecessary to press the round up
switch to descend the stairs. The support
wheels operate automatically at a set
speed.
