Liftkar PTR I 7
WARNING
For transporting people using LIFTKAR PTR tracked stairclimbers, only use wheelchairs fitted
with a safety belt or other personnel retention system.
It is essential that passengers who are not able to sit independently are strapped in.
Do not use the tracked stairclimber if unusual noises and/or vibrations occur while the LIFTKAR
stairclimber is in operation. Withdraw the stairclimber from use and have it inspected by an
authorized specialist.
Never use the LIFTKAR PTR on stairs at an inclination of more than 35°.
Make sure that the stairs to be climbed are designed to bear the combined load of tracked
stairclimber + wheelchair + weight of persons.
Never operate the stairclimber on heavily damaged stairs (e.g. if the edges of the steps are
worn away).
It is not possible to use the tracked stairclimber on spiral staircases or stairs with tight corners.
To prevent yourself from slipping off steps, make sure you are wearing non-slip footwear.
To avoid accidents, do not use the stairclimber on wet, slippery or waxed stairs. Carpet
coverings must also be non-slip.
The person being transported must not hang their arms to the side or move their arms
suddenly. Instead, their arms should rest on the armrests or their thighs.
DANGER
Never operate the LIFTKAR PTR on surfaces that are wet, slippery, polished or waxed, smooth,
icy or generally do not give the operator sufficient stability, and impair the adhesion of the
stairclimber tracks. Rugs and carpets can also present a risk.
Under no circumstances may you let go of the handle while operating the stairclimber on the
stairs. Always operate the stairclimber with both hands (Danger of falling).
Make sure that nobody is below the unit while in operation on stairs (Danger of collision).
Make sure you always wear closed, non-slip shoes when operating the LIFTKAR
(Danger of falling).
Without exception, the stair climber must not be used in explosion-proof areas.
Never overload the device. The maximum load capacity (model-dependent) of the LIFTKAR PTR
is 130 kg or 160 kg (weight of person + weight of wheelchair). Make sure that your wheelchair
(!) is designed to bear the weight of the person to be transported.
