3. Climbing stairs
During your initial instruction session, you have already learnt how to climb stairs
with the scalamobil. You also had the opportunity to complete your first climb under
the supervision of the authorised dealer or agent of Alber GmbH. Before transporting
a person on the scalamobil, you should however read the instructions below and prac-
tice the individual steps with the empty wheelchair on a staircase.
To transport a person, you might need to use a lap belt or foot belt (optional acces-
sories). It is the responsibility of the operator to check whether this equipment is
necessary.
Never attach or remove the scalamobil from the occupied or empty wheelchair while
standing at the top of the staircase, but move the devices to firm level ground.
3.1 Climbing up stairs
Ensure that the inner [15] and outer [16] drive wheels are aligned with each other
(see chapter 2.5.1).
Check again that the person is properly seated on the wheelchair.
Turn the selection switch [6] to position “up” (see chapter 2.4.4).
If the scalamobil is not yet switched on, do this by actuating the main switch [4]
(see chapter 2.4.1).
Tilt the scalamobil towards you until it is at an optimum angle to the stairs and
the stair climber with the passenger is well balanced. Maintain this angle during
the entire climb up the stairs.
Move the scalamobil backwards towards the stairs until the wheels of the scalamo-
bil touch the first step. Move the scalamobil gently and avoid jerking.
To climb up one step, actuate the driving switch [2] (see chapter 2.4.5) while
pulling the scalamobil slightly towards the operator.
Do not release the driving switch [2] while the scalamobil is climbing the step.
When the scalamobil has reached the outer edge of the climbed step, release the
driving switch [2] and move the scalamobil carefully to the next step. Avoid any
jerking movements.
Actuate the driving switch [2] again to climb the next step.
Repeat the above steps until you reach the top of the stairs.
After the last step has been climbed, move the scalamobil to a firm and level
surface (do not leave it at the edge of the stairs!). Ensure that the inner [15]
and outer [16] drive wheels are aligned with each other (see chapter 2.5.1).
If required, you can now remove the scalamobil from the wheelchair
(see chapter 2.8).
i
Set the scalamobil to single step mode (see chapter 2.3.3). In this
mode, the climbing process is automatically terminated each time
a step has been climbed.
i
If you want to stop the scalamobil while climbing stairs, release the
driving switch [2].
Alternatively, while the drive switch [2] is engaged, you can press
the climbing direction selection switch [6]. In this case, the scala-
mobil also stops immediately (“Emergency Stop”). To restart travel,
the driving switch [2] must be released briefly and then pressed
once more. Before restarting travel, ensure that the correct direction
of travel has been selected.
