11, SANO Liftkar SAL Uni Page 11 2.6 Safety flap To start tilting a load, it may be necessary to use your foot to assist in tilting. The axle of the conventional sack truck is normally used for this purpose. With the LIFTKAR SAL, the swing arm with the support wheels, a wheel, or the drive unit may be used to support by foot. The safety flap is installed to prevent your foot getting jammed in by the swing arm. If you press onto the lower part of the flap with your foot all functions will be stopped.

14, Page 14 With the support wheels in the descend position the LIFTKAR can be rolled over the step margin and the support wheels will, under controlled conditions, lower the machine onto the next step down. When the main wheels land on the lower step, the support wheels automatically rotate to the descend position for the descent onto the next step down, all within approx. half a second. During the descent movement the indicator light changes to constant red. After reaching the descend position the light chan…

15, Page 15 4.3.2 Hooking in underneath the step Under normal operating conditions, with the load in a well-balanced position, the moving support arm is always clear of the underside of the upper step. If the LIFTKAR is laid back too far, the support arm will be tripped by touching the tread it is on, causing it to rotate under the upper tread. The electronics will go into overload mode and will n…

16, SANO Liftkar SAL Uni Page 16 4.3.4 LIFTKAR is not a rubber pad In the beverage industry drums are sometimes directly thrown from the truck onto the hand truck instead of a rubber pad or old tyre. This is not possible with the LIFTKAR when the support wheels are in the descending position. The impact will be transmitted to the connecting bar via the drive unit, which may result in fracture. With the support wheels raised between the main wheels, throwing barrels on the unit is possible in p…

17, Page 17 4.3.7 Driving on a winding staircase When you have to drive on a winding staircase please pay attention to the following: When ascending, the LIFTKAR (or any other handtruck) tends to move to the inside of the staircase (any step a few cm depending on the angle of the winding). Therefore start as far as possible at the outside when ascending. When descending, the LIFTKAR tends to move to the outside of the staircase. Therefore start as far as possible at the inside when descending. However if the winding stairc…

Their durability largely depends on the charge/discharge cycles. It is possible for instance to extract far more than 1,000 partial discharges from lead-acid batteries if total discharge is avoided. For this reason avoid total discharge. Recharge as often as possible. Lead-acid batteries are subjec…
