7.2 Control: Raising and lowering
The two foot switches integrated in the base plate have a safety function, which is ensured by the three pos-
itions of the switches.
First position: While the foot switch is not pressed at all, it is in resting position. No function is triggered.
Second position: While the foot switch is pressed half way down, it is in working position. The sledge is lift-
ing or lowering depending on the switch.
Third position: While the foot switch is pressed all the way down, it is in safety stop position. No function is
triggered.
This function serves as a protection against accidental operation of the foot switches while working on a
bicycle. The foot switches only react to gentle pressure (see Pos. 2 - working position). If no function occurs
when the foot switch is pressed, check that the foot switch has not been pressed all the way down. If the
problem persists, check that the device is switched on and that the batteries are charged. Only one foot
switch can be operated at a time.
