Position 2: Driving on Stairs
After the
Stairmax
has been brought into the right position at the start of the steps it has
now to be brought back into Position 2. Therefore the lifting switch has to be activated and
pressed until the adapter is lifted to its upper position. This lifts the wheelchair over ground
level, activates the drive switch and now allows to use the
Stairmax
drive.
Attention:
Check locking brackets on both sides. Turn the red control lever till its
mechanical stop. This blocks the locking brackets from being opened and unlocks the drive
switches.
Driving upstairs
When approaching a stair it is essential that the
Stairmax
is positioned in line with the stair
flight. The crawler type undercarriage of the
Stairmax
should be place min. 20 mm in front
of the first step so as not to block the supporting roller when changing from position 1
(horizontal drive) to position 2 (driving on stairs). By activating the drive switch the
wheelchair driver can now drive up the strairs.
