A second, shorter, loading bar can
be used in the bottom rail tube if
you find it easier to fit this way. Lift
the carriage and thread the top
skate rollers onto the top loading
bar. Holding the carriage vertical,
slide it down the loading bar.
Ensure the main load roller is correctly positon and locate the bottom skate
onto the shorter, bottom rail loading bar. As the carriage comes to rest the
pinion should be correctly aligned for loading.
Before the carriage can be moved down the rail the two 12v, 8.5aH
batteries must be fitted. The electromagnetic brake on the motor will not
release until the batteries have been fitted.
Do not try and force the
carriage onto the rail without fitting the batteries as this could damage
the brake.

:
When new, the 12V 35W 8.5Ah batteries will be pre-charged. These
carry electrical charge, which provides a risk of electrical shock or fire
if the battery terminals are shorted out.
Although they are sealed batteries, they do contain battery acid, so
damaged or leaking batteries pose a risk of burns.
Fold down the footrest and ensure the battery isolator switch (10) is turned
off.
Remove the two 7mm nuts and
plastic washers located at the
bottom of each carriage side
cover. These covers can then be
removed taking care not to
damage the locating lugs at the
top. Disconnect the infra-red
receiver cable from each side
cover.
Remove the four pozi-drive screws found on the front of the carriage and
allow the plastic carriage front cover to lean forward. This cover can be
removed completely, if necessary, by un-plugging the 3 way cable to the
Diagnostic Display PCB. If the powered swivel option is fitted there will also
be another 3 way cable fitted. These cables can be replaced in either
position.
In the battery compartment you will find the fused link, the rubber battery
retention strap, a flat rubber divider and a stepped rubber divider.
