4. Operation
4.1.
Climbing UP stairs
Fit battery pack, switch main switch to ON, press briefly on multi-function switch P until
the LED display goes permanently green (Single-step mode, refer to section 2.5.1.), or
flashes green (Continuous mode).
The LIFTKAR is now ready for operation.
Pressing one of the UP/DOWN switches Q (Figure 6, page 12, left and right of
handlebar, arrow upwards points towards operator) starts moving the lift arm with the
support wheels and lifts the LIFTKAR onto the next step. The cycle is repeated until
the switch is released (Continuous mode, LED flashes green). In Single-step mode the
LIFTKAR stops when the main wheels reach the next step.
Important:
As soon as the main wheels have "landed" on the next step, always draw the
unit away from the edge of the step and contacts the step above.

Climbing DOWN stairs
Fit battery pack, switch main switch to ON, press briefly on multi-function switch P until
the LED display goes permanently green (Single-step mode, refer to section 2.5.1.), or
flashes green (Continuous mode).
The LIFTKAR is now ready for operation.
Pressing one of the UP/DOWN switches Q (Figure 6, page 12, left and right of
handlebar, arrow downwards points away from operator) starts moving the lift arm with
the support wheels and lowers the LIFTKAR onto the next step. The cycle is repeated
until the switch is released (Continuous mode, LED flashes green). In Single-step
mode the LIFTKAR stops when the main wheels reach the next step.
4.2.1. Overload
If the unit is overloaded the drive motor stops and the LED flashes red for 3 seconds
before going out. The unit has to be switched on again.
If the power of the battery pack is running out then the overload signal will be
displayed even on loads below the specified capacity.
Important:
As soon as the main wheels have landed on the step, always push the
Liftkar to the edge of the next step. The brake wheels stop the Liftkar
reliably on the edge of the step.
