4. As main wheels rest on stair, immediately pull unit
back to touch rise of next step up.
CAUTION! Holding unit too flat on stairs may
result in partially trapping support wheels
under stair. This may cause excessive pressure
on drive unit and cause unit to go into
overload mode and shut down. To resume use,
press ascend/descend button to reset.

DESCENDING STAIRS
1.
Press ascend/descend button briefly again until
indicator light flashes green. Unit is now in descend
mode. Support wheels will move to descend position
automatically. Round-up switch is now inactive.
2. With support wheels in descend position, powered
stair climber can be rolled over step and support
wheels will lower unit onto next step down.
3. When main wheels land on lower step, support
wheels automatically rotate to descend position for
descent onto next step, all within approximately half
a second. (See Figure 9)
CAUTION! As soon as powered stair climber rolls
off step, ensure main wheels are kept against
the rise until support wheels reach descend
position.
