Liftkar HD I 16
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.
4.2.2 THE LIFTKAR IS NOT A RUBBER MAT!
Never throw a load onto the LIFTKAR! We recommend that this kind of loading method is avoided because it
causes higher wear and may damage the LIFTKAR control unit as a result of vibrations.
4.2.3 DO NOT RIDE OVER KERBS AT AN ANGLE
Always ride over kerbs or similar edges with both wheels contacting the edge at the same time. This will
prevent damage to the drive unit.
4.2.4 OPERATION ON SPIRAL STAIRCASES
Please observe the following points when operating the stairclimber on spiral staircases:
The LIFTKAR moves inwards when climbing up, so:
For climbing UP start on the outside of the staircase.
The LIFTKAR moves outwards when going down, so:
For climbing DOWN start on the inside.
If you do start moving too close to the banisters/wall then shift the unit to the side by reversing (on a landing or
wider step if possible) and start again at a tighter angle.
5 HOW THE LIFTKAR EDGE BRAKING SYSTEM
WORKS
5.1 ENABLING THE SYSTEM
The edge braking system is enabled automatically as soon as the LIFTKAR is switched on using the "ON/OFF"
switch (figure 5). This ensures that the brake blocks inside the rims of the main wheels block the main wheels as
soon as the unit approaches the edge of a step. The brakes are released mechanically as soon as the main
wheels contact the next step. The brake system remains active and engages automatically when the main
wheels approach the edge of the next step.
