6.5 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.
The Liftkar PT can always go done
to the next landing, even if the
battery is dead. We recommend
bringing the user down to the next
landing.
6.6 Ideal transport angle
The Liftkar PT is equipped with an electronic angle detection system. As soon as the
stairclimber is no longer at the ideal angle the system stops the climbing mechanism
and an audio indicator activates. 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 stair-climber is in an upright position, pressing one of the down arrows 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 and prevents the device
from moving.
6.7 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 procedure also makes it easier to fit wheelchairs onto the unit. It is
recommended to use this function whenever the unit is in a stand still mode, or when
the units are disassembled for transporting and reassembling.
