4. Insert the key into the safety lock to unlock the stairclimber ( photo 4 + 5 ) (optional).
5. Switch on the main switch (LED display should light up green).

7. Test the brakes (see section 9.4 ).
8. Experienced operators only: if required, press mode switch 3 to switch from single-step mode to
continuous mode.
NOTE
The spindle is spring-loaded as it presses down onto the mounting socket. This design provides an
extra degree of safety because the spring presses the handle unit column upwards if the spindle is
not engaged properly, or is not tight enough. As a result there is no electrical connection to the
control cluster (plug is disconnected between socket and column) and the Liftkar PT can no longer
be switched on. The spring may not be strong enough to push the column upwards in all
situations, but if the spindle is not engaged properly only a very slight movement of the column
will cause the plug to disconnect so that the unit cannot be used on steps.
4.1.1 ADJUST HANDLE
The following general rule applies for setting the height of the handle: The upper edge of the handle (where the
UP/DOWN switches are located) should be at about the same height as the operator's shoulders (see also
section
3.3 about tightening the clamping nut).
4.1.2 HEADREST (OPTIONAL)
All models can be fitted with a headrest, available as an accessory.
Mounting the headrest is easy: just insert the two chrome rods into the holes on either side of the column
underneath the control cluster and slide downwards. The height can easily be adjusted to the requirements of
each individual passenger. The spring properties of the rods hold the headrest in any position without the need
for a clamping system).
