Read the full text in the readerOrach Chayim Siman 522
Orach Chayim Siman 522 is a source-text unit from the Shulchan Arukh with 4 seifim. Its reading map separates the practical rule, its conditions and the points that need comparison with the surrounding text.
What to track
Read each seif as a separate step. Identify the action, the condition that limits it and any distinction between cases before moving to the next seif.
Study lens
Look for Shabbat law and sacred time. The source text remains the primary evidence; this note offers a structured way to enter it rather than replacing close reading.

Original text
<b>קצת דברים האסורים לטלטל בי"ט. ובו ד סעיפים:</b><br>אין הסומא יוצא במקלו ולא הרועה בתרמילו (ודין חיגר דינו בי"ט כמו בשבת וע' לעיל סי' ש"א סעיף י"ז):
A few things that are forbidden to be carried on Yom Tov, and there are 4 Simanim: The blind man may not leave with his stick nor the shepherd with his sack (and the law of a disabled person is the same on a holiday as it is on Shabbat, see above chapter 301 paragraph 17).
אין יוצאין בכסא אחד האיש ואחד האשה ואיש שהיו רבים צריכים לו מותר ומוציאין אותו על הכתף אפי' באפריון:
Neither a man nor a woman may go out in a [carried] chair. If many people need him, it is permitted, and he may be carried on the shoulders, even in a litter (or a canopy).
מי שנתכווצו (פי' שנצמתו ונעשו קצרים) גידי שוקיו יכול לצאת במקל:
Someone whose legs have shrunk (meaning that they have become shorter) can leave with his stick.
