About The Chair; Description; General Specifications - Ferno EZ-Glide 59T User Manual

3.1 Description

Note: In this manual, all chair models are referred to as "the chair" when
features or operation is identical. When a feature or operation differs, the
specific chair model name is used.
The chair is for professional use by a minimum of two trained operators.
A third person to serve as a spotter may be required by local protocols.
Additional help may be required when working with heavy patients.
The Ferno® Model 59 EZ-Glide® Evacuation Chair is an emergency
patient-handling device designed to transport a seated patient up and
down stairs and over flat surfaces. The chair does not feature tracks.
Operators lift and carry the chair up or down stairs.
The Ferno® Model 59T or 59T-LWH EZ-Glide® Evacuation Chair are
emergency patient-handling devices designed to transport a seated
patient up and down stairs and over flat surfaces. The chair is designed
with belted tracks that enable operators to "glide" the chair down stairs
instead of carrying it.
The difference between models 59T and 59T-LWH is the weight of the
chair (see table at right), and the use of the rear lift handles. Rear lift
handles are available as an accessory to Model 59T. Model 59T-LWH
is constructed with two-stage, locking rear lift handles as standard
equipment.
POWERTraxx® conversion kits are available to provide a powered
track system for Models 59T or 59T-LWH. To purchase accessories, see
"Accessories" on page 34.
