Transporting The Passenger Up Stairs - Stryker 6253 Manual De Uso

TRANSPORTING THE PASSENGER UP STAIRS

WARNING
• To avoid injury when a passenger weighing more than 200 pounds
is on the chair, use a minimum of two operators to transport on
stairs. If more people are required to safely control the chair, see
page 1-25 for the proper positioning of each helper.
• To avoid injury, always verify the lift handles are locked in place
before using them to lift the chair.
1. Roll the chair to the bottom of the stairs with the passenger's back
to the stairs.
2. Foot end operator - extend the foot end lift handles by pushing the
red buttons and pulling the handles until they stop. Release the
button and verify the handle is locked.
3. Head end operator - unfold the head end lift handles.
4. The foot end operator faces up the stairs. The head end operator
may either face backward for improved passenger monitoring or
forward for an improved view of the stairs and easier maneuvering
around obstacles.
Note: Although the head end operator can face either direction
while carrying, any applicable protocols for carrying chairs should
be followed.
5. Both operators - simultaneously lift the chair, using the head
and foot end lift handles and following proper lifting techniques
(see page 1-17). Carry the chair slowly up the stairs, avoiding any
obstructions.
