    CargoMaster Brief Survey General Information Everybody who sees the CargoMaster in action for the first time is fascinated by its climbing mechanism. Precisely those people who are technically inclined end up shaking their heads as they try to understand how it works. If one did not see the CargoMaster actually climp up- and downstairs, one would re- ach the conclusion that this couldn´t possibly work, and yet it does.

  • Page 26: 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 lead batteries are maintenance-free. Repairs and work done on the CargoMaster are to be performed by authorized personnel only. Changing the Electrical Fuses The electrical fuses are located on the left side of the batteries (see 3.4 "Description"").

  • Page 27: Lead Batteries

    Lead batteries are subject to the so-called self-discharge. Therefo- re, whenever possible, the lead batteries should always be connec- ted to the AAT Alber Automatic Charger. As soon as the batteries are fully charged, the charger automatically switches to the retai- ning of the charge, which keeps the lead batteries from becoming overcharged.

  • Page 28: Charging The Batteries

    80% of their capacity, otherwise 100%. Please use exclusively the special AAT Alber Automatic Charger and the AAT Alber charging cable for the car. As soon as the batteries are fully charged, the AAT Alber Automatic Charger switches to retaining of the charge, which means that over- charging is impossible.

  • Page 29: Problems And Solutions

    The reason for the CargoMaster´s failure can be the burning of a fuse due to overloading. Should this be the case, the problem is easily solved by simply changing the 30 A fuse. If the problem is not solved by substituting the fuses, please con- tact you local AAT Alber dealer.
