NOTE
Quick-release pins are often used because they are self-securing due to spring pressure applied
by an inside cone and three small balls which press outwards. Hold the mushroom head between
forefinger and middle finger and press the spring pin down with your thumb. With the pressure
released you can insert the pin into the hole on the mounting right up to the mushroom head. The
quick-release pin locks in place when you let go of it. Make sure the quick-release pin is
working properly each time you use it.
If you want to use the wheelchair/stairclimber, but not on the stairs, then press DOWN on the UP/DOWN
6.
switch so that the lifting frame retracts (the singlestep control stops it in the right place automatically).
If you want to use the wheelchair/stairclimber on the stairs, then press UP on the UP/DOWN switch so that
7.
the whole unit lifts upwards until the wheelchair wheels are clear of the floor. After releasing the parking
brake on the wheelchair, you must remove the wheels (otherwise there is a risk of causing an accident) and
slot them into the holes located higher up on the PT-Plus (
photo 6 - 7
). Press DOWN on the UP/DOWN switch
to lower the wheelchair plus stairclimber onto the LIFTKAR PT wheels. The unit is now ready for climbing
stairs. (The next section (chapter
5
) describes the stair climbing procedure in detail.)
NOTE
If the wheelchair wheels have been removed then it is also possible to move the wheelchair
around on the LIFTKAR PT wheels. Note though that the handling is quite different from the large
wheelchair wheels. Since the automatic step edge brake wheels are not able to clear obstacles
higher than 15 mm in the forwards direction Sano recommends using the unit in reverse as much
as possible.
4.6 DETACHING THE LIFTKAR PT-PLUS AND PT-ADAPT FROM
THE WHEELCHAIR
First press UP on the UP/DOWN switch to raise the whole unit until there is enough space to fit the large
1.
wheelchair wheels (remember to engage low speed).
Insert the wheel axles into their sockets and apply the parking brake so that the wheelchair cannot roll away
2.
while the stairclimber is being detached.
Now you can remove the quick-release pins from the upper mountings (hold the mushroom head between
3.
forefinger and middle finger and press the spring pin down with your thumb).
Press DOWN on the UP/DOWN switch so that the lifting frame retracts (the single-step control stops it in the
4.
right place automatically). The stairclimber moves downwards away from the upper mountings to rest on its
main wheels and can now be removed.
