Note:
The spindle (phot o3) is spring-loaded as it presses down onto the mounting socket. This
design provides an extra degree of safety because the spring presses the handle unit column
upwards if the spindle is not engaged properly, or is not tight enough. As a result there is no
electrical connection to the control cluster (plug is disconnected between socket and column)
and the Liftkar PT can no longer be switched on. The spring may not be strong enough to
push the column upwards in all situations, but if the spindle is not engaged properly only a
very slight movement of the column will cause the plug to disconnect so that the unit cannot
be used on steps.
5.1.1 Adjust handle
The following general rule applies for setting the height of the handle: The upper
edge of the handle (where the UP/DOWN switches are located) should be at about
the same height as the operator's shoulders.
(See also section 4.3 about tightening the clamping nut)
5.1.2 Headrest
All models are fitted with a headrest.
Mounting the headrest is easy: insert the two chrome rods into the holes on either
side of the column underneath the control cluster and slide downwards. The height
can easily be adjusted to the requirements of each individual passenger. The spring
properties of the rods hold the headrest in any position without the need for a
clamping system).
