3.5 Halting the scalacombi while climbing a staircase
When climbing stairs, do not interrupt the operation of the scalacombi. In other words,
keep the driving switch [17] pressed until the scalacombi has fully climbed a step and is
automatically switched off.
In general, interrupting the operation is only permitted in an emergency situation, for
example if the person sitting on the scalacombi requires medical attention.
If you need to call for assistance, the scalacombi can be lowered onto the steps as shown
in the diagram to the left.
Do not leave the person sitting on the scalacombi alone, and always remain in visual
contact.
In such an emergency situation, the person sitting on the scalacombi must remain calm,
as sudden movements induced by panic might dislodge the stair climber from its position.
If the scalacombi is not equipped with a headrest, we strongly recommend that the head
of the person on the stair climber is brought into a comfortable resting position. To do
this, you might need to place the head on a cushion made from pieces of clothing.
Please note that the scalacombi is automatically shut down when it is not in use for more
than 15 minutes.
4. Anti-theft device
The scalacombi is equipped with an anti-theft device to secure it against unauthorised
use or removal. It is operated with the enclosed key [22].
4.. Activating anti-theft device
Switch the scalacombi on (see chapter 2.4).
Place the key [22] onto the sensor field marked with a key symbol [9]. A long
audible signal is generated, the LED display [10] is switched off and the stair climber
is automatically shut down.
If the scalacombi is switched on after the anti-theft device has been activated,
4 audible signals are generated at 30-second intervals. The LED display [10] flashes in
green. The stair climbing function is disabled, and the wheels are blocked.
4.2. Deactivating anti-theft device
Switch the scalacombi on (see chapter 2.4).
Place the key [22] onto the sensor field marked with a key symbol [9]. A brief audible
signal is generated.
After the stair climber has been switched on, the LED display [10] shows the operat-
ing status of the scalacombi (see chapter 8).
The anti-theft device can only be activated and deactivated if the
scalacombi is switched on.
