Care and Maintenance

7.1

General Information

Your

CargoMaster

is not a maintenance-intense device. On

the contrary, it is easy to take care of. Clean it now and then

with a moist (not wet) cloth. The lead batteries are mainten-

ance-free. There are no oiling points; however, you should

tighten the driving chain once in a while as described in 7.2

“Tightening the Chain”.

+

Repairs and work done on the

CargoMaster

are to be performed by authorized personnel

only.

7.2

Tightening the Chain

As with all machines driven by chains, such as e.g. motorbi-

kes or bicycles, the chain has to be retightened now and

then.

+

It is necessary to tighten the

CargoMaster

´s chain as soon as you feel respectively hear a

clear snapping movement or sound during the lifting process.

In the left aluminum plate there are three oblong holes ar-

ranged in a circle which make the locking screws (hexagon

socket head cap screws) of the motor/gear unit accessi-

ble.By loosening the screws and by turning the eccentrically

situated motor/gear unit counter-clockwise, the chain is

tightened.

+

Please do not forget to retighten the three locking screws.
