Detaching The Liftkar Pt-Plus And Pt-Adapt From The Wheelchair - Liftkar PT-S 130 Instruction Manual

7. If you want to use the wheelchair/stairclimber on the stairs then press UP on
the UP/DOWN switch so that the whole unit lifts upwards until the wheelchair
wheels are clear of the floor. After releasing the parking brake on the
wheelchair you must remove the wheels (otherwise there is a risk of causing
an accident) and slot them into the holes located higher up on the PT-Plus
(photo 6 - 7). Press DOWN on the UP/DOWN switch to lower the wheelchair
plus stairclimber onto the Liftkar PT wheels. The unit is now ready for climbing
stairs. (The next section (chapter 6) describ es the stair climb ing procedure in
detail.)
Note 4: If the wheelchair wheels have been removed then it is also possible to move the
wheelchair around on the Liftkar PT wheels. Note though that the handling is quite
different from the large wheelchair wheels. Since the automatic step edge brake wheels
are not able to clear obstacles higher than 15 mm in the forwards direction Sano
recommends using the unit in reverse as much as possible.
5.2.8 Detaching the Liftkar PT-Plus and PT-Adapt from the
wheelchair
1. First press UP on the UP/DOWN switch to raise the whole unit until there is
enough space to fit the large wheelchair wheels (rememb er to engage low
speed).
2. Insert the wheel axles into their sockets and apply the parking brake so that
the wheelchair cannot roll away while the stairclimber is being detached.
3. Now you can remove the quick-release pins from the upper mountings (hold
the mushroom head b etween forefinger and middle finger and press the
spring pin down with your thumb ).
4. Press DOWN on the UP/DOWN switch so that the lifting frame retracts (the
single-step control stops it in the right place automatically). The stairclimber
moves downwards away from the upper mountings to rest on its main wheels
and can now be removed.
