Using Additional Help - Ferno 59T EZ Glide User Manual

59T EZ Glide®

6.8 Using additional help

Operating the chair requires a minimum of two trained operators. Ferno recommends positioning a trained operator at each end
of the chair, that operators and helpers face each other when transporting a patient up or down stairs, and that a third trained
person "spot" for the lead operator. Follow all applicable local protocols for carrying chairs.
The trained operators should maintain control of the chair and operate the controls, and the designated lead operator should
direct all helpers. The charts below show suggested placement for operators and helpers.
