6.7 Pausing On the Stairs

If the operators tire, or need to attend the patient during a transport up
or down stairs, the operators communicate and work together to pause
on the stairs (Figure 30).
PAUSING DURING A DESCENT
Both operators tilt the chair forward, off the tracks, to allow the rear
wheels to rest on the step. Both operators hold the chair in place.
To resume a descent, both operators tilt the chair back to the glide
angle and engage the belts on the steps. Then, continue down the stairs
as instructed in this manual. See "Transporting a Patient Down Stairs
(Model 59)" on page 22 or see "Transporting a Patient Down Stairs
(Models 59T, 59T-LWH)" on page 23.
PAUSING DURING AN ASCENT
Both operators set the chair down on its rear wheels on a step. Both
30
operators hold the chair in place (Figure 30).
To resume, lift and carry the chair as instructed in this manual. See
"Transporting a Patient Up Stairs (All Models)" on page 25.
