evacuee
Transport on
stairs
Descending
stairs
Take the chair down from its wall hook, place it on the
oor so that the piston with attached wheels faces you.
Pull the handle upwards until it locks into place. The
handle is now secure. Unfasten the security belts so
that the seat chair unfolds.
Place the chair behind the person who needs assistance.
Hold the chair on both sides and push the upper part
forward until the chair is at a 90-degree angle to the
oor and the edge of the seat touches the evacuee’s
knees. Ask him/her to sit down, and pull the piston
frame and wheels backwards with one foot until the
piston extends fully. Lower the chair so that all four
wheels touch the oor. Adjust the head rest as desired
and fasten the head and seat security belts. Make sure
the manual transport handles are locked.
As you move along the escape route, grasp the side
handle with both hands. When you are close to the top
of the stairs, push the upper part of the chair forward
so that the chair is at a 90-degree angle with the oor.
With one foot, push the 2-wheel frame forward until
the piston is fully locked.
Continue to hold the handle with two hands. When the
chair is stable on the rst two steps, move your hands
to the upper part of the handle while applying slight
pressure downwards. Allow the chair to glide down
the stairs. Remember: the chair is powered. Do not
push it. If you do not feel secure, ask someone to walk
ahead and hold the front of the chair. To descend more
slowly, tilt your body backward. While descending the
steps, make sure to keep both hands on the upper part
of the handlebar.

Folding the
chair
When reaching the bottom of the stairs, make sure the
chair is at a 90-degree angle with the oor. Pull the two
small wheels out with the help of one foot and bring
the transported person to safety. Help the evacuee
dismount from the chair by tilting it forward. Make sure
to brace yourself so as not to be thrown off balance.
When moving from stairs to a plateau, make sure to
stabilize the chair on four wheels. Do not continue to
push the chair in a tilted position.
Push the two small wheels forward and fold the seat.
Release the head rest and close the chair using the
safety straps. Return the chair to its wall hook.

representative of the company.
▪ Guided instruction requires two people present: one person holds the upper
handle of the chair and the second makes sure that a safe gliding speed is
maintained by supporting and holding the lower part of the chair.
