General safety instructions
iNOTE
Read the user manual prior to start-up and observe the warning notices and safety instructions.
Keep user manual in a safe place.
The C120 may only be operated by persons who have obtained appropriate training and are physically
and mentally able to operate the C120 safely. This also includes adequate eyesight.
Training may only be carried out by the manufacturer, the AAT eld service sta󰀨 or by certied partners.
In the event of reading disabilities, cover training content in more depth verbally.
Minors below the age of 16 are not allowed to operate the C120!
Minors of at least 16 years are allowed to operate the C120, but only under supervision!
Stability tests were performed under laboratory conditions. C120 may behave di󰀨erently under real
conditions compared to laboratory tests.
CAUTION
External heat sources may cause the surface temperature to rise (e.g. sunlight)! Do not touch the af-
fected surfaces. There is a risk of burns!
Do not exceed the permitted lifting capacity. When overloaded, the C120 may be damaged!
The C120 is not made exclusively out of ame retardant materials. Keep the C120 away from sources
of ignition.

WARNING
Never touch rotating/moving parts. There is a risk of crushing!
DANGER
Do not use the C120 in rain, wet conditions, snow or black ice. There is a risk of accidents due to the
reduced braking e󰀨ect!
Only use the C120 if both safety brakes are operational. There is a risk of accidents!
Do not use the C120 on escalators or travelators. There is a risk of falling! The cargo may fall out!
The operability of the C120 may be inuenced by electromagnetic elds (e.g. by mobile phones, electric
generators, or high-voltage sources)!
The C120 may interfere with highly sensitive electromagnetic elds of other electronic devices (e.g.
anti-theft devices). Do not operate the C120 in the proximity of medical devices with e.g. a life support
function, nor close to diagnostic devices.

3.2 Intended use
The stair climber C120 is used to transport cargoes safely over stairs (upwards and downwards). In
doing so, both straight and spiral stairs can be travelled. Driving on slopes is possible, too.
Any other use is considered not in compliance with the intended use.
The C120 was developed to be operated by a single person. However, the use of a stair climber requires
a higher level of skill and experience than the use of a manual hand truck.
This user manual applies to the device types CargoMaster C120 S and CargoMaster C120 F. The only
di󰀨erence between these stair climbers is the type of the handle standard. The di󰀨erences are described
at the relevant positions in this user manual. Any further information about handling and operating apply
to both device types.

1) The climbing speed and the reach may decrease with an increased weight of the cargo.
2) Any steps of a smaller depth may not be travelled as in this case it is no longer possible for the wheel to be set down safely.
