Safety First - Garaventa STAIR-TRAC SA-2 Owner's Manual

1 Safety First!

This symbol is used throughout this manual to draw your attention to instructions
that must be carefully followed to avoid possible dangers.
The following procedures are important to ensure the safe operation of Stair-
Trac:
CHECK THE STAIRWAY
Do not use Stair-Trac on curved or spiral stairs, irregular or insecure stairs or
stairs with loose carpeting. Use extra caution on wet or slippery stairs.
CHECK THE STAIR ANGLE
Do not use Stair-Trac on stairs that have not been checked by using the Stair
Slope Indicator. Refer to page 5.
ENSURE THE WHEELCHAIR CAN BE PROPERLY ATTACHED
Stair-Trac is not designed to be used with electric wheelchairs, scooters, carts
and some models of sports chairs.
A chart on page 26 shows the sizes of wheelchairs that can be attached to Stair-
Trac. Use Stair-Trac only with wheelchairs that conform to these ranges and
clearances.
Some small wheelchairs may not be able to be pulled over the tracks due to their
low underside clearances. These may be able to be attached by using the
Wheelchair Attachment Ramp. Refer to page 16 for details.
