INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing STAIR AID, BARTELS POWERED STAIR CLIMBER. This manual describes proper operating
procedure, inspection and maintenance. The user manual is a useful help for operator and passenger.
Before running the machine, be sure to read this manual thoroughly. Please keep this manual in the same, easily
accessible place. Ensure that the STAIR AID SA-3 is operated by properly skilled and experienced person only! Never
leave stair climber and passengers – except in emergency cases – alone on stairs.
All machines are referred to by their serial numbers. Whenever you inquire about a machine, be sure to inform us of its
serial number.
The serial number is inscribed on the side of the machine. Please record its number and year, month and date of purchase
in the operation manual.
• The STAIRMATE is a medical device class I and satisfies the requirements of ISO 7176-28.
• The STAIRMATE is a motorized stair-lift for in wheelchairs seated persons who are not able to overcome stairs
on their own and thus it is associated with type B (ISO 7176-28: 2012 Annex A). The product is used exclusively
to overcome stairs and has no driving mode for flat surfaces.
• STAIR AID is designed to carry one passenger.
Never carry a baby in the arms, have a child on the passenger‘s lap or carry any similar load while using STAIR AID
even when the total weight does not exceed STAIR AID‘s maximum load. Unprescribed usage is dangerous.
Only one passenger can use STAIR AID while Seat Belt is fastened.
• The operator must call out to the passenger to inform him/her the next action with simple words in order to reduce
passenger‘s anxiety before the operator moves STAIR AID to the next phase of the procedure. (Pay special attention
to reducing passenger anxiety before and during STAIR AID‘s ascent/descent of the stairs.)
• The stability tests have been performed with dummies. Standard wheelchairs were used.
• The results of the stability tests may vary in real situations.

1. ESSENTIALS OF SAFE OPERATION
1.1 Purpose of use / Indication
Walking or very limited walking ability within the basic needs to move in ones own apartment and leave the apartment to go
for short walk in the fresh air or to reach the usual places in the neighbourhood in order to take care of everyday business.
The supply of the stairmate is indicated when disabled people have to overcome stairs on a regular basis, e. g. in the house
and in the apartment, the stairs are suitable for a stairmate and a wheelchair is available.
1.2 Advice - Stairs
The use on stairs with more than 35 ° inclination can lead to accidents of any kind. There is no insurance coverage in this
case. The STAIRMATE may not be used on spiral or turn staircases, staircases with a slope greater than 35 °, stairs with
damaged edges, icy, wet or slippery stairs.
The usage of the STAIRMATE
requires a higher level of skills than
using a wheelchair. Because of the
increased risk it is recommended to
carefully deal with the product and
its operation.
