Tilting the stair climbing system
To drive on slopes or to climb stairs you must tilt the
C
-max
, which can be
done easily by means of the climbers.
1.
Turn on the
C
-max
by pressing the ON/OFF switch.
2.
Press the UP/DOWN switch direction DOWN until the climbers lift
the main wheels at least 1-2 cm off the floor (see picture).
3.
Put your foot on the housing and tilt the
C
-max
slightly toward you
until you feel that the
C
-max
is balanced.
4.
The
C
-max
is balanced if you feel neither pull nor push in the hand-
les.
5.
In order to drive on level ground, the climbers must be pulled in enti-
rely
If you tilt the
C
-max
further, or too much, the safety brakes engage and the
C
-max
can't be moved forward any more.

Operation on slopes
To drive on a slope, make sure the handles are adjusted appropriately (see
chapter 6.7). Now tilt the
C
-max
slightly backwards and pull in the climbers
entirely (see chapter 6.8).

For safety reasons we recommend you to ask another person to assist
when driving on a slope.
