Liftkar SAL I 13
4.3.2 HOOKING IN UNDERNEATH THE STEP
Under normal operating conditions, with the load in a well-balanced
position, the moving support arm is always clear of the underside of the
upper step (see chapter
4.2
). If the LIFTKAR is laid back too far, the
support arm will be tripped by touching the tread it is on, causing it to
rotate under the upper tread. The electronics will go into overload mode
and will need to be reset.
4.3.3 OVERLOAD
If the unit is overloaded the drive motor stops and the LED flashes red for 3 seconds before going out. The unit
has to be switched on again.
Once the battery has been discharged the unit will go into overload even with loads below the
specified capacity.
4.3.4 LIFTKAR IS NOT A RUBBER PAD
In the beverage industry drums are sometimes directly thrown from the truck onto the hand truck instead of a
rubber pad or old tyre.
This is not possible with the LIFTKAR when the support wheels are in the descending position. The
impact will be transmitted to the connecting bar via the drive unit, which may result in fracture. With the
support wheels raised between the main wheels, throwing barrels on the unit is possible in principle since the
pneumatic tyres would absorb part of the impact, it is nevertheless not recommended as it detrimental to
service life.
