Preliminary functional checks Before each use, the operator must check that the stair climbing trolley is safe and should, therefore, perform the following inspections before using the stair climbing trolley. 6.2.1 Control devices Check the condition and charge status of the battery to make sure that it is sufficiently charged for the work at hand.
6.2.4 Load fastening straps Thoroughly check the good condition of the fixing straps, which must be free of cuts, abrasions, fraying (even minimal) and the metal hooks and buckles must have perfectly working spring levers. Fig. 61 7 USING THE STAIR CLIMBING TROLLEY Adjusting the height of the control handle The control handle of the stair climbing trolley can be adjusted according to the height of the operator.
Page 80
ATTENTION: HEIGHT OF THE CONTROL HANDLE • If the pins are not inserted correctly, the extension is NOT blocked. Therefore there is a risk of detachment and/or sudden movement of the control handle. Do not lift the control handle beyond the length of the Joystick cable, because doing so could pull out or damage the connecting cable of the control panel, making the trolley unusable.
Placing the load on the trolley and harnessing WARNING: POSITIONING THE LOAD • To place large loads properly on the trolley, it is recommended to use a forklift truck or similar. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the load’s centre of gravity is perfectly centred in the middle of the load surface.
Loading objects to be transported on stair climbing trolley. Loading/unloading of objects to be carried is a manual operation depending on the operator. It is therefore extraneous to the features of the device regarding the capability of tackling staircases while transporting this heavy object. The operator must therefore comply with standards in force regarding the manual handling of loads and should never carry a load heavier than 25 kg if a healthy adult male.
Positioning of load centre of gravity. Use limits. WARNING: CENTRE OF GRAVITY OF THE LOAD • To position the load on the trolley, proceed as follows. Falling hazard. • Place the centre of gravity of the load as close as possible to the control handle of the stair climbing trolley.
Page 84
In general terms, to achieve a stability condition during transport on a staircase, the operator must make sure to have positioned the load and therefore the relative centre of gravity so that the value D is as close as possible to the centre of the load surface (namely 316 mm). WARNING The use limits, in addition to depending on the correct positioning of the centre of gravity, also depend on the gradient of the staircase, which inevitably varies the values D.
