Never release the handlebar when climbing a staircase!
The person transported on the scalacombi must only exit the climber
after it has been placed on a firm surface away from the edge of the
top step.
When climbing down a staircase, always push the scalacombi slightly
forward.
3.3 Climbing a spiral staircase
To use the scalacombi on a spiral staircase, follow the operating instructions in chapters
3.1 and 3.2.
Please note, however, that the wheel at the inside of the spiral staircase needs to travel
a shorter distance than that on the outside. The scalacombi must therefore be aligned
accordingly to the edges of the steps.
Never release the handlebar when climbing a staircase!
3.4 Climbing metal grid stairs
Special caution is required when using the scalacombi on stairs whose steps are made of
metal grids!
On metal grid stairs with wide grid
the brakes of the scalacombi might not work properly
the rubber feet of the scalacombi might become jammed in the grid when the stair
climber is placed on a step
Before transporting a person over such stairs, complete a test run
with the empty scalacombi.
If the feet become jammed or the brakes fail to function properly,
do not use the scalacombi on the stairs.
Never use the scalacombi on wet or slippery metal grid stairs. When
using the stair climber on outdoor staircases, ensure that the grids
are not covered in wet leaves or pieces of paper, as they make the
steps slippery. Never use the scalacombi on stairs that are obviously
slippery.
Never use the scalacombi to climb stairs covered in ice.
