5.2.7 Loading a wheelchair onto a Liftkar PT-A
With this model the stair-climber unit is secured to the wheelchair using an adapter
mounting.
A special adapter mounting to the wheelchair. These mountings are fitted to each
side of the climber unit for anchoring axles with adjusting rings
(PT-A, photo 1).
They allow for attaching and detaching the wheelchair.
How to attach the stairclimber to the
wheelchair:
1.
Lock the wheelchair wheels by
applying the parking brake
2.
Move the Liftkar PT under the
wheelchair from behind as close to its
centreline as possible and slide the
lower rods into the lower mountings
(photo 2, arrow A on photo 3).
Note 1: the lifting frame with support wheels should be centred between the wheelchair
wheels so that the support wheels are not touching the floor (the lifting frame is in the
correct position when it is stopped using the single-step mode control, see also 4.1.3)
Note 2: if the wheelchair had been folded for transport, make sure that it has been set up
properly by pressing down sharply on the seat. Otherwise it is possible that the side
frames will not be far enough apart to allow the climber unit to fit between the lower
mountings.
