Downstairs (the single step switch is not activated)

Before each climbing process there must be a

performance check (see chapter 3.3)

When you climb downstairs, you also need to remove the

wheels of your wheelchair (see chapter 3.4).

Then do as follows:

· Push the direction of travel switch [22] forwards (also

see chapter 2.1)

· If you have not done so already, turn on the scalamobil

by pressing the On/Off button [3].

· Align all four wheels of the scalamobil by pushing the

driving switch [2].

· Adjust the handlebars to breast height of the person

operating the scalamobil. (also see chapter 3.5).

· Tilt the scalamobil with the attached wheelchair toward

you and balance it out.

· You have reached an ideal position when you hardly feel

any pressure forward or backward accordingly.

· Advance slowly to the edge of the stairs until the automatic

brakes grip blocking any further advancement.

· Push the driving switch [2]; the scalamobil begins to

descend the stairs. (If you release the driving switch [2],

the climbing mechanism is interrupted immediately; the

wheels come to a standstill).

While the inner pair of wheels remains on the upper step,

the outer pair of wheels descends to the following step.

Simultaneously the scalamobil plus attached wheelchair

moves down. As soon as all four wheels are in a parallel

position again, you climbed down one step, the climbing

cycle has been finished.

When descending regular stairs with standard depth, you

may push the driving switch [2] continuously climbing down

step after step without interruption (recommended for

skilled users only).

When descending stairs with an extremely high depth, you

should interrupt the descending process until you have

pushed the pairs of wheels (in parallel position) forward to

the edge of the following step.
