Climbing Up Stairs - Liftkar PT-S 130 Instruction Manual

6.2 Climbing UP stairs

1. Set the adjustable handle to the correct height (see 5.1.1 and 4.3)
2. Switch on the Liftkar PT with the main switch (if it is not already switched on).
3. Set speed selector switch to the lowest speed (I). (Do not select a higher
speed until you have had some practice.)
4. Tilt the Liftkar PT towards you until it is
balanced.
In the balanced position you only need a
slight pressure to rock the stairclimber
forwards or backwards.
Note 1: hold the crossbar with one hand, and the
left or right handle next to the UP/DOWN switch
with the hand that operates the switch. Normally
right-handed operators operate the UP/DOWN
switch with their right hand and have their left hand
on the crossbar. For left-handed operators it is
usually the other way round. (photo 1)
5. Move backwards to the stairs and stand on
the second or third step, or stand with one
foot on the second step and the other on
the third step. Stand at a slight angle so
that you can support the crossbar against
the side of your body (photo 2). The main
wheels of the climber unit must be touching
the bottom step!
6. Now press on the UP/DOWN switch (on the
arrow pointing towards the stairs, i.e.
towards you). Make sure that you have one
hand on the crossbar and the other hand
free to operate the switch. (You only need
to press one of the switches.)
