6.5 Parking the Liftkar PT on the stairs
In an emergency the Liftkar PT can
be parked on the stairs The
automatic step edge brakes prevent
it from rolling away. However, for
safety reasons it is important that
you do not leave the passenger
alone for any length of time.
6.6. Ideal transport angle
The Liftkar PT is equipped with an electronic transport angle supervision system. As
soon as the stairclimber is no longer at the ideal angle the angle supervision system
stops the climbing mechanism. If the angle is too low in relation to the steps then the
LED in the control unit turns red as long as one of the UP/DOWN switches is
pressed. The climbing mechanism cannot be activated again until the angle has been
corrected.
ġ
If the angle of the stairclimber is too steep the angle supervision system also
switches off the climbing mechanism. Pressing the UP/DOWN switch again causes
the stairclimber to continue in creep mode.
ġ
6.7. Getting on and off the stairclimber
If the stairclimber is in an upright position, pressing one of the UP/DOWN switches
causes the climbing unit to extend in creep mode. This function enables the person
being transported to get on and off the stairclimber more easily.
ġ
This function also makes it easier to fit wheelchairs (PT Uni / PT Adapt and PT Plus).
This function is always active independently of the climbing speed selected.
