8.2 Stairs sloping control
Check the stairs sloping
Caution! Before climbing the stairs for the first time, ensure that
their slope falls within the set parameters
- maximum slope 35° (is equivalent to a 70%
slope)
If the stair slope is unknown, it is necessary to take the mea-
surements checking the slope to degrees (by using a ruler or
goniometer) or detecting the height rise over a length of 100
cm (it must be 70 cm max).
Slope control using the bubble inclinometer
Climb the stairs without passenger and wheelchair to check
the correct slope through the inclinometer.
When the whole track is on the stairs, check the
inclinometer and carefully comply with the following instructions:
100 cm
35°
max
70 cm
max
If the bubble lies within the
green and red areas, the
slope is about 35°
Operations which must be carried out by qualified personnel or the service centre
If the bubble lies within the
green area, the slope is
below 35°
If the bubble lies within the
red area
the slope is above 35°
Under this condition the wheel-
chair can climb the stairs
In this condition
You must NOT climb the stairs
In this critical condition, if the bubble lies
within the green and red areas, the whe-
elchair and passenger can be transferred
very carefully.
