TAKING A LOAD UP STAIRS
1. Place the equipment in a safe well balanced position with the load carriage
between the heelplate and the main frame wheels.
2. Locate the equipment with the heelplate and main frame wheels out from
the first step. This will provide clearance for the main frame wheels when
they are raised. (See Diagram “A”) Set the main frame wheels.
3. Pivot the equipment forward on the heelplate just enough to clear the step.
Jog the lift hand pushbutton thumb switch “Load Down” to raise the main
frame wheels until they are resting securely on the second step. Set the
main frame wheel brakes.
4.
Jog the right side of the center rocker switch “Load Up” to raise the load
carriage to a more balanced position ahead of the main frame wheels.
(See Diagram “B”)
5. Pivot the equipment backwards on the main frame wheels to raise the
heelplate off of the ground. Jog the right hand pushbutton thumb switch
“Load Up” to raise the load until the heelplate is resting securely on the
first step up. (See Diagram “C”)
6. Alternate between steps #3 & 5 until the top of the stairs is reached. (See
Diagram “D”)
7.
Place the equipment in a safe well balanced position with the load
carriage between the heelplate and the main frame wheels.
