If, while descending the stairs, either operator needs to pause or rest, tilt the chair forward just enough to allow the rear
wheels to rest on the tread of the stair (Figure 12). To continue down the stairs from the resting position, the head end
operator exerts slight downward pressure on the upper control handle while the foot end operator provides slight upward
pressure to tilt the chair back and activate the S S t t a a i i r r - - T T R R E E A A D D system.
