5.
Move gradually forward to the edge of
the step until the step edge brake
automatically stops the main wheels
on the Liftkar PT
(photo 3).
Now press
on the UP/DOWN switch
(on the arrow
pointing forwards)
. Make sure that you
have one hand on the crossbar and
the other hand free to operate the
switch.
(You only need to press one of
the switches.)
6.
The lifting frame with its support wheels now extends to contact the next step
down. As soon as the lifting frame touches the step with its support wheels the
Liftkar PT raises slightly
(depending on the height of the step)
, moves forward
and lowers the climber gradually and in a controlled manner and stops in the
neutral position in single-step mode.
7.
Now you can move the Liftkar PT forward to the next step edge and repeat the
same procedure.
6.4 Operation on spiral staircases
Please observe the following points when operating the stairclimber on spiral
staircases:
•
For
moving
UP
start on the
outside
of the staircase.
(The Liftkar PT moves
inwards when climb ing
UP
)
•
For
moving
DOWN
start on the
inside
of the staircase.
(The Liftkar PT moves
outwards when climb ing
DOWN
)
If you do start moving too close to the banisters/wall then shift the unit to the
side by reversing
(on a landing or wider step if possib le)
and start again at a
tighter angle.
