LIFTKAR® PTR
TILTING ANGLE SENSOR
Your Liftkar PTR is equipped with a tilting angle sensor, which detects the inclination of the Liftkar PTR on stairs. In
the case that the stair angle exceeds 35°, the device clearly reduces its driving speed and the LED on the handle
unit illuminates permanently red. In the event of an extreme stair angle, the unit stops climbing upstairs.
(A warning tone as well as the red illuminated LED signalises this condition.)
It is still possible to move downstairs in creep speed in order to bring the PTR out of the danger zone onto the next
landing.
Never move on stairs with an inclination of more than 35°.
The integrated tilting sensor does not substitute a check of the stair angle by the operator before the first
movement.
BATTERY STATUS WARNING
In case of low battery level the LED on the handle unit starts flashing red/ green, as well as an alternating warning
tone alerts the operator. It is still possible to drive 3-4 levels after the first alert.
(4) OPERATION
1
Attention:
Before activating the safety release system always press the emergency stop button and remove the key.
Safety first – if the safety release system is required, make sure that a second person (helper) is present,
who activates the safety release system.
By pulling the safety release wire (helper) and pressing the handle unit downwards (operator), the device
starts moving.
The device can be stopped anytime by releasing the safety release wire.
Only move the stairclimber onto the next landing.
After usage of the safety release system your Liftkar PTR must undergo a complete safety check by an
authorized SANO partner.
SAFETY RELEASE SYSTEM
The safety release system is positioned on the left side of the base unit
(figure 1) . In the event of an unpredictable machine break down (e.g. techni-
cal defect, power supply failure), this system allows the operator to manually
move down the tracked stairclimber onto the next landing.
By pulling the safety release wire, the electromagnetic brake is disengaged
manually. Due to its own weight (incl. whee weight of person) the
Liftkar PTR starts moving downstairs.
