About the Chair
3  ABOUT THE CHAIR
3.1 Description
Note: In this manual, all chair models are referred to as “the chair” when
features or operation is identical. When a feature or operation diers, the specic chair model name is used.
The chair is for professional use by a minimum of two trained operators. A third person to serve as a spotter may be required by local protocols. Additional help may be required when working with heavy patients.
The Ferno® Model 59 EZ-Glide® Evacuation Chair is an emergency patient-handling device designed to transport a seated patient up and down stairs and over at surfaces. The chair does not feature tracks. Operators lift and carry the chair up or down stairs.
The Ferno® Model 59T or 59T-LWH EZ-Glide® Evacuation Chair are emergency patient-handling devices designed to transport a seated patient up and down stairs and over at surfaces. The chair is designed with belted tracks that enable operators to “glide” the chair down stairs instead of carrying it.
The dierence between models 59T and 59T-LWH is the weight of the chair (see table at right), and the use of the rear lift handles. Rear lift handles are available as an accessory to Model 59T. Model 59T-LWH is constructed with two-stage, locking rear lift handles as standard equipment.
POWERTraxx® conversion kits are available to provide a powered track system for Models 59T or 59T-LWH. To purchase accessories, see “Accessories” on page 34.

USING TWOPIECE RESTRAINTS
1. Feed a restraint strap loop through a slot in the seat or back panel.
2. Wrap the strap around the aluminum chair frame and feed the male or female buckle through the loop, then pull the strap tight against the frame and panel.
3. Repeat Steps 1-2 for the other half of the restraint.
USING ONEPIECE RESTRAINTS
Note: Two-piece restraints are recommended.
1. To attach the seat-panel restraint, lay the restraint across the top of the seat panel and feed the male and female ends of the restraint down through the slots.
2. Wrap the restraint around the aluminum chair frame on each side of the chair, capturing both the panel and the frame (Figure 1).
3. Buckle the restraint and adjust the length.
4. Repeat Steps 1-3 to attach the back-panel restraint.
WARNING

NOTICE
Restraint rules (also follow your local protocols):
● Use a minimum of two restraints.
● One restraint must be secured across the chair seat to
help hold the patient on the chair.
● Each restraint or strap must capture the aluminum
chair frame and the plastic panel.

5.1 Folding and Unfolding the Chair
The red lock bar below the front edge of the seat disengages the lock for unfolding and folding the chair. Before seating a patient, verify that the chair is completely unfolded and the lock is engaged.
FOLDING THE CHAIR
1. Buckle the restraints and arrange the straps to prevent interference with folding the chair.
2. Roll the chair backward to reverse the swivel wheels (Figure 5).
3. Standing at the side of the chair, grasp the lift bar with one hand and the lock bar with the other hand.
4. Pull the lock bar forward or toward the front of the chair (Figure 6),
then fold the seat toward the lift bar.
AS YOU FOLD THE SEAT: Tilt the chair forward (Figure 7) to keep
the swivel wheels rotated outward. This prevents the wheels from holding the frame away from the seat and allows the lock to engage.
5. Press the seat against the back-panel frame until the lock engages (Figure 8).
6. Verify the lock has engaged by pulling the seat away from the lift bar without pulling the lock bar. The seat will not move if the lock is engaged.
Note: If the swivel wheels prevent the chair from locking in the folded position, hold the chair at a greater tilt to allow the swivel wheels to rotate away from the chair frame.
Folding and Unfolding the Chair
The chair lock must be disengaged before you begin folding or unfold the chair. Pull the lock bar forward, then fold or unfold the chair.
When folding the chair, tilt the seat forward so the swivel wheels rotate outward, away from
the seat.

5.2 Track System (Models 59T, 59T-LWH Only)
The track system enables operators to glide the chair down stairs instead of lifting and carrying it.
GUIDELINES FOR USE
● Using the chair on stairs requires a minimum of two trained
operators. Ferno recommends using a third person as a “spotter”. See “Transporting a Patient Down Stairs (Models 59T, 59T-LWH)” on page 23.
● Verify that the track system is fully open and locked before use.
● Never lubricate the belts. Lubrication can cause the belts to perform
unpredictably, resulting in injury to the patient and/or operators.
● Moisture, water, snow, ice, or debris on or between the tracks and belts
can cause irregular belt performance that results in sudden changes in the weight operators must support. Make sure the tracks and belts are clean and dry before using the chair on stairs.
● Moisture, water, snow, ice, or debris on the stairs can cause poor
footing for operators. To avoid possible injury, clear the stairs or select an alternate route.
OPENING THE TRACK SYSTEM
1. Grasp the red release bar (Figure 9) and rmly pull the track system away from the chair until it locks in the open position.
2. Verify that track system has locked by trying to push the tracks closed. If the lock is fully engaged, the track system will not close.
WARNING
Using the chair with the track system unlocked can cause injury. Verify that the track system is locked before transporting the patient.
Lubricating the track system can result in injury to patient and/or operators. Never lubricate the tracks or belts.

CLOSING THE TRACK SYSTEM
With your hand, push the red closing handle down (Figure 10) until the track system closes completely.

RASING AND LOWERING THE LIFT BAR
1. Pinch and hold the release tabs together with one hand to unlock the lift bar (Figure 12), then raise or lower the lift bar with the other hand.
2. When the lift bar is near the desired position, let go of the release tabs and raise or lower the lift bar until it locks into position.
3. Verify that the lift bar is locked by trying to raise or lower it without squeezing the release tabs. When the lock is engaged the lift bar will not move.
5.4 Telescoping Lift Handles
The telescoping lift handles adjust to ve locked positions (Figure 11). Adjust the handles according to operator preference and the task at hand.

5.5 Footrest
The footrest has two positions: raised for storage (Figure 14), and lowered for use (Figure 15).
To lower the footrest, swing it down until it stops.
To raise the footrest, swing it up until it stops.
GUIDELINES FOR USING THE FOOTREST
Use the footrest properly to ensure that is does not interfere with patient’s or operators’ feet.
● Before transferring the patient onto the chair, make sure the
footrest is raised in the storage position. Seat the patient before lowering the footrest.
● When preparing to transfer the patient o the chair, unfasten the
ankle restraint and raise the footrest into the storage position before unfastening the patient’s torso and lap restraints. This will prevent the patient from attempting to stand before the footrest has been stored out of the way of his/her feet.
● Keep the footrest raised when it is not in use.
14
Footrest
Raise the footrest to the storage position before transferring the patient onto or o
from the chair.
5.6 Wheel Locks
The rear chair wheels are tted with wheel locks to help keep the chair from rolling during patient transfer.
Stay with the chair and maintain control of it at all times. Do not use the wheel locks as a substitute for operator control.
To engage a wheel lock, press down the rear end of the lock pedal (Figure 16).
To disengage a wheel lock, press down the forward end of the lock pedal.
