Instructions for operation
Before we get to the actual instructions for operation, we would like to intro-
duce the s-max’s most important components to you.
6.1
Control unit
The control unit is situated on the right handle and consists of an UP/DOWN
switch
, a speed control
, a safety chip for the engine immobiliser
and
an ON/OFF switch
.
F
It is possible to supply you with a left-handed control for additional
charge.
6.1.1
ON/OFF switch
If the s-max is not in operation, please turn the device off.
F
The s-max is equipped with a turn off feature: if the device is on and
has not been used for 5 minutes, the turn off feature switches the
s-max off automatically. In such case you can only use the s-max
again by pressing the ON/OFF switch.
F
To assure safe operation of the s-max in dark stairways we equipped
each s-max with 2 LEDs (lights). These lights are automatically acti-
vated when you turn on the s-max.
F
Should you have opted for the inclination indicator, it will also be au-
tomatically activated when you turn on your s-max (chapter 6.1.2).
6.1.2
Inclination indicator (optional)
If you wish the s-max can be equipped with an inclination sensor. Should
you hold the device at an angle that is too high or too low, you will feel a vi-
bration in the handle. The vibration increases the more you diverge from the
ideal angle
.
If the handle does not vibrate you are within the ideal inclination angle to
operate the s-max with ease
.
If your s-max has been equipped with this feature at your choice, it will vibra-
te for a few seconds every time you turn on the device. This is to tell you that
the inclination indicator is active. Should this initial vibration not occur,
please contact your authorized dealer or AAT Alber Antriebstechnik GmbH
.
6.1.3
UP/DOWN switch
With the UP/DOWN switch you activate the climbing mechanism up- or
downstairs.
6.1.4
Speed control
The speed control enables you to adjust the speed continuously.
When you use the s-max for the first time, please choose the lowest speed.
