  • Page 22: Care And Maintenance

    CargoMaster Care and Maintenance General Information Your CargoMaster is not a maintenance-intense device. On the contrary, it is easy to take care of. Clean it now and then with a moist (not wet) cloth. The sealed lead acid bat- teries are maintenance-free. There are no oiling points; ho- wever, you should tighten the driving chain once in a while as described in 7.2 “Tightening Chain”.
  • Page 23: Tightening The Chain

    CargoMaster Tightening the Chain Occasionally the climbing system’s chains need tightening. Before you do that loosen the six hexagon socket screws on both climbers. Tighten them again after tightening the chain. A system to tighten the chains is located under the covering plates of each climber (also chain housing).
  • Page 24: Sealed Lead Acid Batteries

    Sealed lead acid batteries are subject to the so-called self-discharge. Therefore, whenever possible, the batte- ries should always be connected to the AAT Alber Automa- tic Charger. As soon as the batteries are fully charged, the charger automatically switches to the retaining of the charge, which keeps the batteries from becoming over- charged.
  • Page 25 If you charge the batteries in your vehicle you reach a charging capacity of 80 % (charger, 100 %). Please use exclusively the special AAT Alber Automatic Charger and the AAT Alber charging cable for the car.
