5.10 Climbing Upstairs
You will manage the climbing process without
problems and in next to no time, if you follow in-
structions closely. At first you should practice
climbing stairs up and down with the
CargoMas-
ter
without loads to get familiar with the device
and how it works.
1.
To climb stairs, drive with the
CargoMaster
backwards toward the stairs and climb 2 to 3
steps. Please make sure that the
CargoMas-
ter
´s big wheels are touching the edge of the
lowest step as shown in Figure 27.
+
During the entire climbing process, always pull the
CargoMaster
slightly backwards to-
wards you, i.e. keep the device always under tensible force.
2.
Push the up/down switch to “UP“ in-
itiating the climbing process. The motor
and the lifting levers begin to rotate and
uplift the frame plus load (see Figures 28
and 29).
+
Imitate this powered climbing process of the frame with your arms and consequently
with the handlebars. Hereby you keep the
CargoMaster
in a sufficiently steep angle so
that the supporting wheels can touch down on the next higher step.
3.
The climbing process takes place in two
sections per step. The first section is finished
when the small supporting wheels touch down
on the next step (see Figure 30) and take over
the load from the big wheels.
