4.1 Braked Track System
The EZ-Glide®LBS track system enables operators to
control the glide of the chair down stairs instead of lifting
and carrying it. The braked track system aids controlled
descent and has various levels of braking resistance which
should be preset prior to descending.
GUIDELINES FOR USING THE TRACK SYSTEM
● Using the chair on stairs requires a minimum of two
trained operators. Ferno recommends using a third
person as a “spotter”.
● Verify that the track system is fully opened and
locked into place before using it.
● Never lubricate track belts. Lubricated track belts
can perform unpredictably, resulting in injury to the
patient and/or operators.
● Moisture, water, snow, ice, or debris on or between
the track and belts can cause irregular track-belt
performance that results in sudden changes in the
weight operators must support. Make sure the track
and track belts are clean and dry before using the
chair on stairs.
● Water, snow, ice, or debris on the stairs can cause
poor footing for operators. To avoid possible injury,
clear the stairs or select an alternate route.
Using the Features
WARNING
Using the chair with the track unlocked can cause
injury. Verify that the track is locked before

4.4 Footrest
The footrest has two positions: raised, for storage, and
lowered for use.
To lower the footrest, swing it down until it stops.
To raise the footrest, swing it up until it stops.
GUIDELINES FOR USING THE FOOTREST
Use the footrest properly to ensure that is does not
interfere with patient’s or operators’ feet.
● Before transferring the patient onto the chair, make
sure the footrest is raised in the storage position.
● When preparing to transfer the patient o the chair,
unfasten the ankle restraint and raise the footrest
into the storage position before unfastening the
patient’s torso and lap restraints. This will prevent
the patient from attempting to stand before the
footrest has been stored out of the way of his/her
feet.
● Keep the footrest raised when it is not in use.
4.5 Wheel Locks
The rear wheels of the chair are tted with wheel locks to
help keep the chair from rolling during patient transfer.

consideration manual handling protocols and
potential risks.
● Wherever possible use the tracks on the chair to
manoeuvre the chair down over curbs or single
steps.
TO ROLL THE CHAIR
1. Head-End Operator: Release the wheel locks.
2. Head-End Operator: Adjust the rear handle to a
comfortable height and grasp it to push and guide
the chair on all four wheels, or tilt the chair back and
roll it on its rear wheels.
3. Foot-End Operator: Assist the head-end operator
as needed and attend the patient.
5.5 Gliding the Chair Down Stairs
GENERAL GUIDELINES
● Using the chair on stairs requires a minimum of two
operators. Use additional help as needed to control
the chair.
● Ferno recommends that the two operators face each
other when transporting a patient down stairs and
that an optional third trained person “spot” is used
for the foot-end operator.
● For heavier-weight patients over around 150 kgs it
is recommended that 4 operators are always used,
and this should be assessed according to the patient
being transferred.
● Check that the stairway is stable and carpet or stair
covering is rmly attached to the stairs.
● Remove any water, ice, snow, or debris from the
stairs before using the chair on them.
● Remove any water, ice, snow, or debris from the
track and tread belts before using the chair on stairs.
● Verify that the track is locked in the open position
before starting down the stairs with the chair.
OVERVIEW OF BRAKING SYSTEM
1. The braking system on EZ-Glide® LBS is designed
to maintain direct control when transporting the
chair and occupant downstairs for a wide range of
patient weights, allowing the operator to increase
or decrease the braking force required according to
the weight of the patient being moved and the stair
type and angle of stair being negotiated down.
2. The track belt system on the chair creates friction
between the belt and the track frame, giving a
certain level of braking when going down stairs;
this is the basis by which all track chairs function
and operate. However with heavier-weight patients
that are typically carried on EZ-Glide LBS, to sustain
a controlled descent more braking may be required
additional to that of the “track belt system”, hence
the inclusion of a brake system on EZ-Glide LBS.

13
© Ferno (UK) Ltd. FERNO/MAN/R4/0721/210-R5/UK
EZ-Glide® LBS Using the Chair
OVERVIEW OF BRAKE CONTROLS
1. The EZ-Glide LBS brake system consists of a rotating
dial positioned on the top of the chair frame,
which when rotated in either direction increases or
decreases the force the brake pad exerts onto the
brake disc, thereby increasing or decreasing the
braking eect and subsequent speed of movement
of the tracks.
2. The rotating dial is connected to the brake system
using a tensioned cable.
3. Rotating the brake dial clockwise decreases the
braking (denoted by a green arrow and “-” sign)
4. Rotating the dial anti-clockwise increases the
braking (denoted by a red arrow and“+” sign)
OPERATION OF BRAKING SYSTEM
1. Before transporting a patient down stairs using EZ-
Glide LBS chair, the initial braking level needs to be
set on the chair.
2. First ensure that the brake is completely o, by
rotating the dial in a clockwise direction as far as
it will go (in the direction of green arrow). Once
reached the end point, where the dial will not turn
anymore, the 2 dot reference points should be
adjacent to each other as per photo below.

350 0.5 4 operators required *
BRAKING SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT
1. The brake setting should then be adjusted according
to the patient weight, by rotating the dial in an anti-
clockwise direction (in direction of the red arrow),
which will then increase the braking eect as the
dial is rotated. The brake dial will rotate a total of
2.5 complete turns, from fully clockwise position of
zero braking to the brake fully on after 2.5 turns ant-
clockwise.
2. Increase of weight of patient being transported
on the chair does not always directly equate to an
increase in braking required over the entire weight
range of the chair capacity. The below table shows
suggested initial brake level settings for moving a
patient, which are based on tests carried out on a
set of metal stairs with a step height (rise) of 170mm,
and tread depth of 270mm, and with a stair incline
of 32.5 degrees.
* Four trained operators are required to operate the chair due to oc-
cupancy weight. Extra care should be taken to ensure the track does
not slip on the stairs, ensuring that the chair is held into the stairs at
foot-end and head-end at all times.
1. The table above shows that for an increasing weight
of patient, up to around 150 kg the required braking
level increases linearly, from 1/2 a turn for a 50 kg
occupant up to 1.5 turns for a 150 kg occupant.
2. Above this weight, the braking level setting required
actually then reduces, decreasing from 1.5 turns at
150 kg to 0.5 turns for a patient weight of 300/350
kg, this being due to fact that the weight of the
patient in the chair actually creates more resistance
on the tracks (increased braking eect) with heavier-
weight occupant, and therefore less braking from
the brake system is actually required.

EZ-Glide® LBS
Using the Chair
7. Both Operators: Working together, guide the chair
over the edge of the top step, allowing the track
belts to engage the step.
8. Move the chair slowly downward until the tracks are
resting on the top two or three steps.This establishes
the glide angle.
9. To maintain the glide angle as you descend, work
together as follows:
○The head-end operator applies slight downward
pressure on the extended rear handle.
○The foot-end operator applies slight upward
pressure on the front (foot-end) handles.
10. Both Operators: When the chair reaches the
bottom of the steps and the rear wheels are on the
oor, the head-end operator tips the chair forward
until all four wheels are on the oor and the foot-end
operator retracts the front handles.
11. Head-End Operator: Close the tracks and adjust
the rear handle to a comfortable height, then roll
the chair.
12. Oncetheoccupanthas been successfully transported
down the stairs, it is suggested to take the brake
o fully, by rotating the dial fully in the clockwise
direction until it stops, such that the chair is then
prepared ready for the next time it is used and the
operator can set the new required braking level.
To Pause During the Descent
To pause during the descent for readjustment of
the brake or other reasons, tilt the chair forward just
enough to allow the rear wheels to rest on the step
while both operators hold the chair in place.
To continue down the stairs, tilt the chair back to the
glide angle and engage the belts on the steps.
MOVING THE CHAIR DOWN STAIRS
1. Head-End Operator: Roll the chair to the stairs and
engage the wheel locks.
2. Foot-End Operator: Extend the front (foot-end)
handles to the desired stop point. Verify that both
handles are locked.
3. Spotter: Stand below the foot-end operator with
a hand on the operator's back to help steady and
guide him/her throughout the descent.
4. Head-End Operator: Pull the track system toward
yourself until the track locks open. Verify that the
track is locked.
5. Head-End Operator: Raise the rear handle to the
desired position and verify that it is locked.
6. Head-End Operator: Disengage the wheel locks
and tilt the chair back.
WARNING
Using the chair with the track unlocked can cause
injury. Verify that the track is locked before
transporting the patient.
WARNING
Lubricating the track system can result in injury to
patient and/or operators. Never lubricate the track
or belts.
1. Note that with stairs with a steeper incline, more
braking may be required as the patient weight is
further forward of the chair and this will therefore
cause more forward movement, meaning more
braking may be required
2. It is suggested that when transporting patients of
150 kgs and over that 4 operators are always used,
not just because of the weight of the patient but
also due to physical body mass of the patient and
to ensure full control and safety of the patient at all
times during the movement of the patient.
3. Prior to taking the patient down the stairs, the brake
should be initially set at the suggested level and the
chair then moved down the stairs following to the
standard procedures for operating a track chair, as
outlined in the EZ-Glide LBS user manual.
4. Once on the stairs and starting to transport the
occupant downstairs, if it is felt by the head-end and
foot-end operators(s) that the chair is totally under
control and tracks felt to be running away slightly,
even when holding the tracks into the stairs at
foot-end and head-end, then the decent should be
stopped and the brake increased by ½ turn, turning
the dial in an anti-clockwise direction (in the direction
of red arrow), increasing further if necessary until
such time as the movement of the chair is felt to be
controlled and the chair not running away.
5. If the chair is dicult to move and the tracks do
not seem to be rotating, even when a forward/
downwards pressure is being exerted by the head-
end operator, then the braking level should be
reduced by turning the dial ½ a turn in the clockwise
direction (in direction of green arrow) and decreased
further if required, until such time as the chair is
moving more freely, but still controlled.

5.6 Using Additional Help
Operating the chair requires a minimum of two trained operators at all times for occupants being moved up to around 150
kgs and 4 operators for occupants over 150 kgs
Ferno recommends that the operators and helpers at opposite ends of the chair face each other when transporting a
patient up or down stairs, and that an additional trained person “spot” for the lead operator. However, all applicable local
protocols for carrying chairs should be followed.
The trained operators should maintain control of the chair and operate the controls, and the designated lead operator
should direct all helpers. The chart below shows suggested placement for operators and helpers.
