Lead-acid batteries will self-discharge when not used The battery automatically has a 4.5 hour cut-out time, so overcharging is impossible The optimum temperature for charging the battery is 65°–75° Fahrenheit (18° to 24° Celsius). Temperatures outside this range may reduce battery capacity If the battery has not been fully charged or tends to lose charge too rapidly, this will reduce the speed and capacity of the Liftkar and it may go into the overload mode as a result, even with light loads...
Compensation / Trickle Charging Once the battery is fully charged, the charging unit switches over to compensation/ trickle charge. On the display, the battery symbol is shown with 4 bars and remains solid. If charging does not begin, there are two possible reasons: Display: symbols blink alternately indicating polarity reversal.
Descending Stairs Press ascend / descend button briefly until the indicator light shines green continuously (see section 3.4 Control Box). The Liftkar is now in the ascend mode. Select high or low speed. Pressing the round up switch in the upper handle operates the support wheels and will lift the Liftkar over the step continuing until the button is released.
Caution ! As soon as the Liftkar rolls off the step, be sure the main wheels are kept against the rise until the support wheels reach the descend position. Just before the swing arm reaches the descending position, the support wheels reach the upper edge of the stair and lift the Liftkar approximately half an inch.
