Page 26
③ Tilt slowly until Rubber Crawler contact the sec- ond stair. Model SF: Model SF [ ] Set Select Switch to TOE PLATE and lower Slide Fork Unit. The machine should easily and safely level up to align with the stairs. Pay attention that both Rubber Crawler approach the first stair at right angle.
Page 27
(3) Improper weight balance: Lay the machine on the stairs with Main Wheels a little aloft. If the top of the machine (handle side) is floated, the center of gravity should be in the bottom side. Danger will result. Reload Cargo with its center of gravity on the upper side of the machine.
Page 28
(5) Temporary stoppage If the operator releases Operation Switch, Electro Magnetic Brake will function and the machine will immediately stop. Rubber Crawler lugs catch the stair noses prevent- ing the machine from sliding down. If cargo balance and the machine stopping position are unstable, a dangerous situation may occur.
Page 29
③ When the machine reaches the landing, retract As- sist Wheels and transfer and turne the machine on its Main Wheels. If a landing is too small to operate the machine, pay attention to maintaining enough space to raise and turne the machine.

③ When the bottom end of Rubber Crawlers reach the second stair, stop the machine, lift up Handle 「ON」 carefully to make machine position at a right angle Brake Lever to the stair with keeping the balance. (2) Proper weight balance To check the weight balance lay the machine on the stairs with Main Wheels a little aloft.
Page 32
(3) Improper weight balance If the top of the machine (handle side) is aloft, the center of gravity is on the bottom side. Danger will result. Reload Cargo with its center of gravity on the higher side of the machine. If it is difficult to shift the center of gravity to the higher side, main- tain pressure on the handle toward the stairs by ap- plying the operator's weight.
Page 33
(5) Stop descent When the machine has nearly reached the bottom ① floor, stop the machine. Apply Main Wheel Brake by raising Brake Lever. ② Brake Lever When Main Wheels contact the ground, raise the 「ON」 machine carefully. Model SF: If Slide Fork Unit is highly posi- tioned, be sure to lower it.
Page 34
③ Release Main Wheel Brake and manually transfer Brake Lever the machine. 「OFF」 Model SF: [ Model SF ] When Main Wheels contact the ground, lower Slide Fork Unit to shift the center of gravity to promote easier raising of the machine. The operator must be trained for stair ascent/descent op- erations and turning operation on landings.
