4.2.2. The HD Powered Stair Climbing Hand Truck is not a rubber mat! Never throw a load onto the HD Powered Stair Climbing Hand Truck. We recommend that this kind of loading method is avoided because it causes higher wear and may damage the unit’s control unit as a result of vibrations.
NOTE: It is a good idea to deactivate the brake system on uneven ground because bumps or dips in the ground would otherwise cause the main wheels to be stopped if one of both of the edge brakes were activated. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the system is switched on again before starting each movement downwards to the next step.
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 stair climbing system. It is therefore essential that you check the function of the step edge braking system each time before you use the stair climbing system.
6. Charging the quick-change battery pack The lead gel cells inside the battery pack are maintenance-free, gas-tight and rechargeable. Their service life depends largely on the charging/discharging cycles. For example, it is possible to partially discharge lead batteries 1000 times, drawing more than 200 times the full capacity of the battery, providing the battery is never fully discharged.
Charger unit 6.1. The battery charger supplied is extremely powerful thanks to an automatic 2-stage system and digital control technology. The first stage is quick charging and the second stage is for maintaining the charge. You can also check whether the battery pack is charged or not. Features clear LCD display and pivoting mains adapter.
Compensation charging When the battery pack is fully charged the charger switches go compensation charging mode. The display shows the battery symbol with 4 bars. If the charging procedure does not start there are two possible causes: Display: Symbols flash alternately ... battery is connected the wrong way round Display: Symbols...
What to do after a safety shutdown: 1. Disconnect the charger from the mains 2. Disconnect the charger from the battery pack 3. Contact your Magliner dealer or Magline Customer Service Technical data Mains voltage supply (50/60 Hz, +/-15 %)
