NEGOTIATING STEPS
Make use of ramps and lifts when they are available.
Where possible steps should be avoided. If there is no
alternative to negotiating steps then ensure at least
one helper is available to give assistance.
Do not attempt to take the transport chair up or down
a flight of steps unless you and your helper are sure
you have control of the transport chair and can take
the weight of its occupant.
During this operation, the attendant and helper must
be well balanced and have secure grip on the transport
chair. The attendants hands must be inside the handle
grips at all times.
Take rests at regular intervals.
GOING UP STEPS
11 Position the transport chair squarely with the rear
wheels against the bottom step.
Tilt the transport chair backward and raise to the
next step.
The helper stands in front, steadies and lifts the
transport chair by gripping the front frame (not
the footrest).
Continue step by step to the top.
GOING DOWN STEPS
12 Position the transport chair squarely with the
front wheels on the top step.
Tilt the handles backward and push the transport
chair forward until the rear wheels are at the top
step.
The helper stands in front, steadies and lowers the
transport chair by gripping the front frame (not
the footrest).
Take the weight and lower the rear wheels down
the step.
Continue step by step to the bottom.

CARE OF YOUR
TRANSPORT CHAIR
• Your transport chair has been designed to a high
standard and with correct use and maintenance will
give many years of trouble free service.
• Regularly inspect the locking devices, parking
devices, harness assembly, catches, footrest, joints
and fixings to ensure they are secure and in full
working order.
• Parking devices, wheels and tyres are subject to
wear and should be replaced if necessary by a
repairer approved by the transport chair supplier.
• We recommend that the transport chair is checked by
an approved repairer every 12 months.
• If the transport chair is damaged or in need of repair,
the approved repairer will be able to advise on what
is required. Alternatively, Maclaren Customer Care is
available for product information.
• Only Maclaren replacement parts and accessories
should be used on this transport chair.
• If wheels squeak, lubricate sparingly with silicone
coating. Do NOT use oil or grease based products, as
this will attract dirt, which will clog the movement.
• Make sure that you are familiar with the operation of
the transport chair. It should always open and fold
easily. If it does not, do not force the mechanism -
stop and read the instructions.
• Plastic and painted parts may be sponged clean with
warm water and a mild detergent.
• The seat fabric can be sponged or scrubbed clean
using a mild detergent and/or mild disinfectant.
• Never clean with abrasive, ammonia based, bleach
based or spirit type cleaners.
• After exposure to damp conditions, dry off with a soft
cloth and leave fully open in a warm environment.
• Do not fold up the vehicle or accessories whilst
wet, or store in a damp place. Either of these will
encourage mildew to form. Always dry all items
before storing.
• Store your transport chair in a dry, safe place.
