INTRODUCTION
CONGRATULATIONS!
WE WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON THE PURCHASE OF YOUR POWERED STAIRCLIMBER
TRUCK TYPE LIFTKAR HD!
You have chosen a unit using the very latest stairclimber technology for negotiating different types of steps and
stairs safely and efficiently.
Development of the LIFTKAR HD focussed especially on user safety and user friendliness.
Key features:
Two UP / DOWN switches - one on the left and one on the right of the handle unit - for perfect user comfort.
Ideal for both left- and right-handed operators.
Automatic braking system that ensures the main wheels stop reliably at the edge of each step from the moment
the unit is switched on.
Optimum protection against impact to the support wheels thanks to a lubricated mechanical clutch.
Additional electronic protection prevents damage due to overloading.
2 climbing speeds and two operating modes (single-step mode and continuous mode) to perfectly match your
operating style.
Excellent performance on spiral staircases.
In order to update you about product news as well as technical changes (e.g. options, accessories) we ask you

1 SAFETY GUIDELINES / TECHNICAL DATA
1.1 GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
Make sure nobody is located underneath the load.
Always secure the load with the safety belt included.
Always wear non-slip shoes. Some steps may be very smooth.
Always wear shoes with steel toecaps.
The Liftkar may only be operated by trained personnel.
Never reach into the unit's transport mechanism with your hands.
Plan each journey on the stairs according to the current situation before you start.
Always remove the battery pack before stowing the LIFTKAR. Firstly so the LIFTKAR cannot be switched on
inadvertently during transport and secondly because the LIFTKAR is 4 kg lighter without the battery pack.
1.2 BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES (DEPENDING ON MODEL)
Fold model:
Each time before you use the stairclimber, make sure that the quick release lever (figure 2, chapter 2.2) on
the handles is tightened properly. It must be possible to tilt the load from the standing position without
assistance. The position of the handle section in relation to the frame must not be altered.
Dolly model:
Figure A shows the protection system when retracted.
Figure B shows the protection system when extended. The sliding arm must be at right-angles to the
protection system.
A: Sliding Arm - B: Dolly-System A: Sliding Arm - B: Dolly-System
Each time before starting up the stairclimber, make sure that the protection system is properly folded away
(retracted, figure D).
