Operating Tips - Garaventa STAIR-TRAC SA-2 Owner's Manual

4 Operating Tips

Note
Throughout this manual, the note symbol has been used to indicate areas where
additional operating tips may be helpful. Following are these tips.
1. When attaching a small wheelchair, the chair's cross-frame may contact the
tracks of Stair-Trac. The Wheelchair Attachment Ramp (optional item) can be
used to raise the wheelchair slightly and facilitate attachment and
detachment. Refer to "Wheelchair Attachment Ramp" on page 16.
2. Sometimes a wheelchair may be of such a height that with the clamp
assembly under the curve of the handle you can almost, but not quite, lift the
Clamp Assembly up to its next highest
locked position. Since it is important to
have as close a fit as possible, move
the chair forward so the clamps are
out from under the chair handles, and
raise the Clamp Assembly up to its
next highest locked position.
Ask the passenger to lean forward
slightly and move the chair and handle
forward until the Holding Clamp
Blocks can be positioned under the
curve in the handle.
Now move the chair back and raise
the handle upright at the same time. At
this point the handle may even be
supporting some of the chair's weight
and the chair may be slightly off the
ground.
