5.4 How to test the step edge braking system
Correct functioning of the step edge braking system is essential for safe operation of the
stairclimber.
It is therefore essential that you check the function of the step edge braking system each time
before you use the stairclimber.
1)
Test the step edge braking system (without load):
a) Tilt the LIFTKAR back until it is at an angle of approx. 45°. (Photo 1)
b) Switch on the stairclimber by pressing the main switch.
c) When you push the LIFTKAR forwards the step edge braking system should engage to
brake/stop the main wheels of the stairclimber.
d) If the brakes do not engage uniformly (uneven braking on left and right wheel), do not
use the LIFTKAR for climbing stairs until it has been checked by an authorised Sano
technician.
