6.5 Checking the safety brakes
DANGER - Do not use the s-max if the required braking effect (on one side or both sides) is not
guaranteed because a reduced braking effect can lead to falling down the stairs. Contact the
manufacturer or your authorised dealer!
WARNING - Check safety brakes without an occupant!
There are safety brakes
located on both sides of the
climbing unit. Activate them
for checking the effect.
» Check the safety brakes
before each use.
Pull in the climbers to their
upmost position and tilt s-max
backwards.
Test: s-max cannot
be pushed forward,
only backwards =
safety brakes activated
i
Manufacturer’s
recommendation:
Put your foot on the
housing and tilt the
s-max towards you. See
detailed description in
Chapter 8.3.
