While being conveyed on stairs, the person sitting in the scalacombi must remain still. Please note that, when transporting persons with
certain disabilities, there might be uncontrolled body movements that can result in a shift of the centre of gravity of the scalacombi during
transportation.
The person operating the stair climber should therefore at all times be capable to react to such sudden movements of the person being
conveyed. The person operating the scalacombi must therefore decide whether the respective person can be safely transported on the
scalacombi.
1.3 Permissible operating conditions/locations of operation
The scalacombi must only be used for climbing stairs at ambient temperatures between -25 °C and +50 °C. The use of the stair climber as a
transfer system for short distances to and from a stair is permitted.
Never release the scalacombi when on a stair. Do not tilt the stair climber backwards, unless this is required in the event of an emergency.
Ensure that the surface on which the scalacombi is to be used is not wet, waxed or otherwise slippery. Carpets must be installed so that
they cannot slip.
The step height must not exceed 20 cm. The minimum step depth should not be below 14 cm.
Please always observe the safety and hazard information in chapter 10.
