2.2 Functional check
As a rule, you should only climb stairs when the batteries are fully charged to avoid the
risk of becoming stuck on the stairs due to empty batteries. For safety reasons, always
test the brakes before climbing a staircase. This check must be performed without a per-
son sitting on the scalacombi and while the climber is switched off.
Check the two adjustment knobs [13] and [16] to ensure that they are properly tight-
•
ened.
Check the adjustment knob [1] of the foot support for proper tightening.
•
Check whether the two drive wheels [5] and the brakes [4] are in pushing position •
(see diagram to the left for correct wheel position). If this is not the case, switch the
scalacombi on (see chapter 2.4). Press and hold the driving switch [17] until the two
wheels are in pushing position where they are automatically switched off.
Should the wheels fail to reach the correct pushing position despite switching the
•
climber on and off, refrain from using the scalacombi!
Switch the scalacombi off (see chapter 2.5).
•
Carefully drive the scalacombi to the edge of the first step. •
Slowly slide the drive wheels [5] of the step edge. The two brakes [4] must now •
engage to prevent further movement of the scalacombi over the edge.
If the two brakes [4] work properly, you can begin to operate the scalacombi. •
If one or both brakes [4] do not work properly, do not operate the
scalacombi. First check whether a small object (small stone, or etc.)
has become caught in the brake system [4] causing the malfunction.
If this is not the case and if the malfunction persists after you have
removed the object, the stair climber is defective. Contact your spe-
cialist dealer or an agent of Ulrich Alber GmbH without delay. Do not
operate the scalacombi until a check has been performed success-
fully.
