1.2. Tilting
The tilting system installed on the ProCargo CT1 will ensure impressive agility at
greater travel speeds. Tilting system can be blocked via foot lever for parking (and
loading) and to facilitate the starting procedure.
Blocking the tilting system:
Push the lever all the way down with the foot.
Blocking engages when the vehicle is
fully erected.
Unblocking the tilting system:
Actuate the hand lever with one finger.
The vehicle should not be manoeuvred faster than walking pace with
the tilting system blocked.
-> Disengage blocking of the tilting system when starting off !
Familiarise yourself with the tilting system of the ProCargo CT1 in an area with mini-
mal traffic. Practice without load to begin with, and then continue with load added:
• Block the tilting system with the foot lever.
• Commence movement, and at the same time disengage blocking of
the tilting system with the hand lever.

personal liability insurance.
