Wrap each strap around the chair frame, insert the end through the loop on the end of the strap and pull it tight.

Pull the strap across the patient’s chest, lengthening the strap as necessary.

Pull the loose end of the strap to tighten it securely around the patient.

Repeat for the second strap and the lap belt.

Remove the three plastic pieces from the strap.

Thread the strap through one of the plastic “D” rings and slide the ring down to the end of the strap up to the white label.

Roll the chair to the stairs and align it squarely with the edge of the first step.

Foot end operator - Extend the foot end lift handles by pushing the red release buttons and pulling the handles out until they stop. Release the buttons and verify the handles are locked.

Head end operator - Use one hand to pull the red upper control handle release cable while using the other hand to pull up and fully extend the handle. Release the cable and verify the handle is locked on both sides in the fully extended position.

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 Stair-TREADTM system to the fully extended position until both sides lock securely. Always verify both sides of the Stair-TREADTM system are locked by trying to fold it back up.

Operators face each other while descending the stairs.

Head end operator - Tilt the chair back just far enough to allow the Stair-TREADTM system to contact the floor.

Both operators - Maintaining the angle, guide the Stair-PRO® Stair Chair over the edge of the stairs, allowing the Stair-TREADTM system to engage the first step.

Both operators - Glide down the stairs until the treads are level across the edges of two or three steps.

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.
