• Always transport the occupant on stairs with a minimum of two trained operators.
• Always lock the lift handles in position before you use the lift handles to lift the chair.
• Always lock the Model 6252 S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system in position before you transport an occupant.
• Always avoid getting dirt or other obstructions inside the tracks. The S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system may not work the same on all
stair surfaces and in all environmental conditions. Based on conditions, you may encounter varying amounts of
resistance. Water, ice, or debris on the stairs can affect operator footing and proper operation of the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D
system. To avoid injury, clear the path or consider an alternate route. Condensation, water, ice, or debris on the S S t t a a i i r r - -
T T R R E E A A D D system can cause unpredictable performance that results in a sudden change in the weight that the operators
must support.
• Always clean and dry the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system before you transport an occupant.
• Do not attempt to transport occupant loads greater than what you can safely lift.
C C A A U U T T I I O O N N - - Always release the red track release bar before you click the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system into the locked position.
Try to fold the chair before you descend the stairs to make sure that the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system is locked.
To transport the occupant down stairs:
1. Roll the chair to the stairs and align it with the edge of the first step.
2. Foot end operator: Push the red release buttons to extend the foot end lift handles and pull the handles out until they
stop. Release the buttons to lock the handles.
3. Head end operator: Use one hand to pull the red upper control handle release cable. Use the other hand to pull up and
fully extend the handle. Release the cable and make sure that the handle is locked on both sides in the fully extended
position.
4. Head end operator: Squeeze the red track release bar against the black cross tube. Relax your grip on the release bar
and forcefully pull the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system to the fully extended position until both sides lock securely. Always make
sure that both sides of the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system are locked by trying to fold it back up.
5. Operators face each other while you descend the stairs.
6. Head end operator: Tilt the chair back just far enough to allow the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system to contact the floor.
7. Both operators - Maintaining the angle, guide the chair over the edge of the stairs. Allow the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system to
connect with the first step.
8. Both operators - Glide down the stairs until the treads are level across the edges of two or three steps.
9. Head end operator: Apply slight downward pressure on the extendable upper control handle while the foot end operator
applies slight upward pressure on the foot end lift handles to keep the chair from rocking forward as it glides down the
stairs.
10. Foot end operator: when the track reaches the last step, release the front handles. Head end operator: allow the chair to
tip forward until all four wheels are on the ground. Roll the chair, see Transporting the occupant on flat surfaces (page
12).
11. To fold the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system, pull the red track release bar toward the black crossbar and fold the track up toward
the chair. Make sure that the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system is locked in place.
If, while descending the stairs, either operator needs to pause or rest, tilt the chair forward just enough to allow the rear
wheels to rest on the tread of the stair. To continue down the stairs from the resting position, the head end operator exerts
slight downward pressure on the upper control handle while the foot end operator provides slight upward pressure to tilt the
chair back and activate the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system.
