NEO Liftkar SAL I 16
4.3.4 LIFTKAR IS NOT A RUBBER PAD
In the beverage industry drums are sometimes directly thrown from the truck onto the hand truck instead of a
rubber pad or old tyre.
This is not possible with the LIFTKAR when the support wheels are in the descending position. The
impact will be transmitted to the connecting bar via the drive unit, which may result in fracture. With the
support wheels raised between the main wheels, throwing barrels on the unit is possible in principle since the
pneumatic tyres would absorb part of the impact, it is nevertheless not recommended as it detrimental to
service life.
4.3.5 FAILURE TO NEGOTIATE STEPS "SQUARE-ON"
Failure to negotiate steps "square-on" will result in damage to the underside of the drive unit.
4.3.6 DRIVING ON A WINDING STAIRCASE
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 CHARGING THE BATTERY
The charger automatically switches to trickle charging so overcharging is not possible.
Do not leave the battery discharged or half discharged. Always charge immediately after use.
The optimum temperature for charging is 20 – 25 °C. Too cold or too warm has a negative effect on the
capacity.
If the battery has not been fully charged or tends to lose charge too rapidly, this will not only
reduce the speed of the LIFTKAR but also reduce the capacity. It may move into the overload
