Liftkar PT I 38
Please observe the following points when operating the stairclimber on spiral staircases:
For moving UP start on the outside of the staircase. (The Liftkar PT moves inwards when climbing UP)
For moving DOWN start on the inside of the staircase. (The Liftkar PT moves outwards when climbing
DOWN)
If you do start moving too close to the banisters/wall then shift the unit to the side by reversing (on a landing or
wider step if possible) and start again at a tighter angle.
5.5 PARKING THE LIFTKAR PT ON THE STAIRS
In an emergency the Liftkar PT can be parked on the stairs. The
automatic step edge brakes prevent it from rolling away. However, for
safety reasons it is important that you do not leave the passenger alone
for any length of time.
5.6 IDEAL TRANSPORT ANGLE
The Liftkar PT is equipped with an electronic transport angle supervision system. As soon as the stairclimber is
no longer at the ideal angle the angle supervision system stops the climbing mechanism. If the angle is too low
in relation to the steps then the LED in the control unit turns red as long as one of the UP/DOWN switches is
pressed. The climbing mechanism cannot be activated again until the angle has been corrected.
If the angle of the stairclimber is too steep the angle supervision system also switches off the climbing
mechanism. Pressing the UP/DOWN switch again causes the stairclimber to continue in creep mode.
5.7 GETTING ON AND OFF THE STAIRCLIMBER
If the stairclimber is in an upright position, pressing one of the UP/DOWN switches causes the climbing unit to
extend in creep mode. This function enables the person being transported to get on and off the stairclimber
more easily.
This function also makes it easier to fit wheelchairs (PT Uni / PT Adapt and PT Plus). This function is always
active independently of the climbing speed selected.
6 OPERATION ON A RAMP
If you use the Liftkar PT stairclimber to move up and down ramps, you can increase safety by activating the step
edge brakes.
