5. Operating Instruction
This chapter contains instructions for operating the 360 drive.
The vehicle can be operated by any adult person if the contents of these operating
instructions are followed. A special training is not required; some experience in working with
this type of equipment is required.
You may only drive with the 360 drive after you made sure that there are no
persons in the danger zones.
Allow only qualified, properly trained personnel operate this 360-drive or
attempt maintenance on. The 360 drive may only be operated by one person.
5.1 Inspection for use of the 360 drive
Before driving the 360 drive the following actions are performed:
1. Perform a visual inspection for signs of damage to the 360 drive. The 360 drive should
only be used after it has been reviewed and found to be correct with regard to damage,
functioning and completeness.
2. Enter the required maintenance. (see 7. Maintenance rules)
3. Verify the battery voltage is present. This is done by placing the magnetic key on contact.
The battery indicator lights up. (see 7.1.1 Battery Charging)
4. Determine the desired speed by turning the butterfly knobs. (see chapter 4.3)
5. Stand on the platform and lay both hands on the handles. Push with your right or left
thumb the upper ridge of the butterfly buttons slowly and gradually downhill. The 360 drive
will now move forward. Release the butterfly button again. Now pull the thumb or finger the
butterfly buttons toward you. The 360 drive will move backwards.
6. Squeeze the handle and move the metallic lock so the brake is permanently pressed. By
squeezing the brake further release the parking brake. Squeeze the handbrake while driving
and simulate an emergency. The handbrake turns the throttle off. Use on slopes always the
manual brake if necessary. When stationary on slopes, always lock the parking brake with
the metallic part on the brake.
Do not use the butterfly buttons at once to the extreme position to push. Push
the butterfly buttons slowly away from you or towards you and give more "gas"
as you know the 360-drive is under control.
