To ascend or descend the stairs, the security key must be
inserted; without this key the device does not accept these
specific commands
• Transfer of the aid
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 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

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,

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
