9.2 Cleaning

Our motto is "A clean machine moves more smoothly". Cleaning with a
standard household detergent is quite sufficient. Please do not use a high-
pressure cleaner or similar.
It is important that the wheels – the rims and tyres – are kept clean and free of
grease in order to guarantee full braking power.
The tyres on the main wheels are made of high-quality polyurethane and can
be best cleaned of grease with brake cleaner or spirit.

9.3 Battery pack

The battery pack also needs to be looked after in that it must always be fully-
charged. Completely discharging the battery will shorten its service life. Lead-
gel cells (not nickel-cadmium) have a long service life if they are regularly fully
charged as soon after use as possible. That is why the battery pack should be
connected up to the charger unit after each use. (Read more on this subject in
section 8, Charging the b attery pack.)

9.4 Brakes and inside rims of main wheels

The braking effect of the main wheels is important and Sano therefore
recommends that the brake components and rims are checked regularly for
cracks or damage and cleaned if necessary. Please check the brakes after
each cleaning. The easiest and most reliable method of checking the brakes is
to tilt the Liftkar PT backwards at an extreme angle (the LED is then red). In
this position it must not be possible to move the Liftkar PT forwards. Please
test each brake separately by trying to free a brake on one side by turning the
stairclimber sharply to the left or right. Please contact an authorised workshop
if the brakes do not work well in this position.

9.5 Spares and repairs

Sano has issued authorised workshops with a complete list of all spare parts
and the necessary exploded view drawings, repair instructions and special
tools. If a repair is necessary then please contact Sano direct, or your nearest
dealer. We will advise you immediately on how to get your stairclimber back
into working order as quickly as possible. Please contact us for details of your
nearest authorised Sano service centre!

9.6 Transport

The Liftkar PT can be dismantled into three parts (battery pack, climber unit,
handle unit), or transported as a complete unit. Please make sure it is secured
properly during transport.
