device have been qualified by the manufacturer or an au-
thorised representative; unqualified people are not allowed
to handle the device.
• Never approach a staircase if the passenger is not in a fully
upright position, or the position of movement (see USE
chapter).
If the passenger is not able to sit in an upright and stable
position, use specific seat belts to secure the passenger to
the backrest.
• Before ascending or descending the staircase, verify the
characteristics of the stairs:
- they must not be covered by rugs or fitted carpeting
- they must not be unstable or unfinished, but compact
- they must not have irregular, broken or collapsed edges
- they must not be wet or slippery.

Read the instruction manual
INTENDED USE
Daily use of the device is authorised only if all the safety components and parts are working properly.
The device was designed to allow the ascent and descent of the stairs of a building with a passenger on board as well as
transport on flat and gently sloping surfaces, with a stable bottom, as described in Chapter 7.
It is not intended for use on icy, muddy, or cobblestone surfaces or on grass or other unstable surfaces.
It is only intended for use as described in this manual; therefore, it is recommended that you carefully read these instructions
to gain maximum familiarity and understanding of the chair’s operational functions.
HANDLING ON STAIRS
To handle the device on stairs, the operator must possess a certificate of qualification issued by the manufacturer or an autho-
rised representative, only after having received direct theoretical and practical training and only after demonstrating the ability
to safely perform all the operations described in this manual, especially handling the device with a passenger on board going
both up and down stairs. (see attached sheet for training)
In case the person who handles the device is replaced or in case of shift rotation, ensure that all those handling the device have
been qualified by the manufacturer or an authorised representative; unqualified people are not allowed to handle the device;
only the manufacturer or an authorised representative can train and qualify a person to handle the device.
INTENDED PURPOSE
The device must only be used for transporting persons with limited mobility.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
• It cannot be used to ascend or descend stairs if the operator does not possess the specific qualification issued by the ma-
nufacturer or an authorised representative.
• It cannot be used by persons (operators) who have not thoroughly read and understood the rules provided in this manual.
• It cannot be used by operators with a slight physical build or who are not able to handle the total mass of the device.
• The device cannot be used in areas subject to splashing water or critical and unfavourable weather conditions.
• It must not be used in any case in which the principles described in Chapter 2 are not respected.
• It must not be used if any faults are noted: these may cause unpredictable, dangerous situations.
RESIDUAL RISKS
• Enabling the step edge detector wheels:
Warning! Before starting to go down the stairs, tilt the aid back until both step edge detector wheels are engaged.
These automatically activate the brakes (4.2), stopping the aid on reaching the first step to start the descent.
If this is not done, the aid will not come to a halt and there will be a high risk of the aid and the passenger falling down the
stairs
• Risk of crushing the feet of the operator if
the necessary safety precautions descri-
bed in this manual are not followed.
• Risk of entanglement if clothing is long
and gets caught in the lower part of the
aid.
• Risk of the transported person falling if the
necessary safety precautions for handling
the device and ensuring upright and sta-
ble passenger positioning, indicated in
