Maintenance, care and transport
9.1 Maintenance
Liftkar PT stairclimbers are durable, low-maintenance products.
However, Sano recommends you have a check carried out at least once every two
years on all moving components, electrical and mechanical connections, the quick-
change battery pack and the charger unit. Please contact your Liftkar PT service
specialist for details.
9.2 Cleaning
Our motto is "A clean machine moves more smoothly". Cleaning with a standard
household detergent is quite sufficient. Please do not use a high-pressure cleaner or
similar.
It is important that the wheels the rims and tires
– are kept clean
and free of grease
in order to guarantee full braking power.
Step edge brakes: verify after every usage that brakes are free of dirt and the lifting
mechanism is clear of any foreign materials.
The tires on the main wheels are made of high-quality polyurethane and can be best
cleaned of grease with brake cleaner or spirit.
In case of daily use of machine, we recommend to clean the machine at least every
week! The minimum requirement is to clean the machine every month. The wheels
should be cleaned after every outside use.
9.3 Battery pack
The battery pack must always be fully-charged. Completely discharging the battery
will shorten its service life. AGM cells (not nickel-cadmium) have a long service life if
they are regularly fully charged as soon after use as possible. This is why the battery
pack should be connected to the charger unit after each use. (Read more on this
subject in section 8,
