4.3 FIT WHEELCHAIR TO LIFKTAR PT UNIVERSAL
GENERAL INFORMATION
The LIFTKAR PT-Universal enables you to transport any wheelchair up to a maximum width of 495 mm,
measured at the back of the wheelchair (including sports wheelchairs) upstairs without any modifications to the
wheelchair, and without removing its wheels. The track width of the wheelchair should not exceed 730 mm
(measured on the outside of the wheels).
NOTE
With some wheelchairs it may be necessary to raise or remove any anti-tip devices. If the anti-tip
devices are fixed, then they will need to be modified to the removable or foldable type.
The following preparations need to be made before starting:
Assemble climber unit, battery pack and handle unit as described in
4.1
.
Fold downside platforms (

Fold up rear stoppers (

, part B)
Adjust side platforms to the track width of the wheelchair
Make sure that the retention bar with the clamps for the backrest of the wheelchair is properly mounted on
the handle unit column. The stickers with arrows on the retention bar should point upwards.
The retention bar locks in place so that it does not slide downwards while no wheelchair is on the
stairclimber. The retention bar is locked in place while it rests on the column. As soon as it is lifted
the bar is unlocked and you can move it freely up and down the column (

)
NOTE
Make sure that the wheelchair's parking brake is properly adjusted and in full working order.
Especially on self-propelled wheelchairs (large wheels), safety is greatly increased when operating
the LIFTKAR PTUniversal on stairs if the parking brake works effectively.
