(in) 180 mm (Fig. 8).
b) In manual mode, without passenger, approach first
stage of stair to travel; press the push button control
(Fig. 4/a); advance on a section of stair; release the
push button; ensure the gradient indicator (Fig. 4\c) on
the steering-bar is green—gradient under 35°.
If the indicator is red—gradient above 35°—it is not
possible to travel on that staircase.
Green indicator: correct gradient
Red indicator: excessive gradient
8.7) Headrest adjustment
To adjust the headrest (Fig. 20/a): remove it and
adjust using the twoVelcro strips (Fig. 20/b).
WARNING: THE PERSON THAT USES THE
STAIRCLIMBER DETERMINES THE STABILITY OF
THE ROBY. TO AVOID UNSTABLE CONDITIONS,
PLEASE ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES AT ALL TIMES.
8.8) Operation on staircase
Always place the ROBY so that the transported
passengers' shoulders are towards the ascent side.
If during stair operations the stairclimber does not
stop when you release the push button (up/down),
press the red emergency STOP push button on the
steering-bar control panel.
Follow the emergency stop instructions in
section 8.9.
8.8.1) Stair ascent operation

With passenger on board, approach the first step of
the flight (Fig. 21/a).
if you travel just one flight, position the ROBY in the•
middle of the flight
if there is more than one flight of stairs, travel as near•
the handrail as possible or near the wall that delimits
the stair well; this position makes manual operation
on landings easier.
Ensure the stairclimber is perpendicular to the
steps; do not attempt to travel on staircases diagonally.
b) Press the ascend push button holding the steering-
bar firmly with two hands; travel up the flight until
the machine arrives at the nose of the last step-
riser (Fig. 22/b) with the STOP sticker on the base,

13) Reversing the safety couplings
Most wheelchairs include thrust handles (Fig. 34/a),
however; some wheelchairs include a horizontal bar
on the rear part on the seat back (Fig. 35/a).
When a horizontal bar is in use, rotate the locking
group (Fig. 36/a) equipped with a second hole (Fig.
36/b) 90° so that the red hook (Fig. 36/c) grasps the
horizontal bar from downwards and not laterally; this
clamps the wheelchair to the steering-bar with the
same safety of traditional wheelchairs.
The following steps describe how to attach a
wheelchair equipped with a horizontal bar to
the ROBY:
1) Remove the clamping screw placed in the edge of
the steering-bar (Fig.36/d) and loosen the locking
handwheel (Fig. 36/e).
