Climbing Upstairs
You will manage the climbing process without problems and
in next to no time, if you follow instructions closely. At first
you should practice climbing stairs up and down with the
CargoMaster without loads to get familiar with the device
and how it works.
1. To climb stairs, drive with the
CargoMaster backwards to-
ward the stairs and then you climb 2 to 3 steps. Please
make sure that the
CargoMaster’s big wheels are touching
the edge of the lowest step and the climbers are in their
utmost position (see Fig. 15).
+
Always make sure that the safety brakes are
unlocked when you climb stairs.
+
During the entire climbing process, always pull the
CargoMaster slightly backwards towards you, i.e.keep
the device always under tensible force.
2. Push the UP/DOWN switch “UP” to initiate the climbing
process. The motor rotates while the climbers lift the fra-
me plus load.
+
Imitate the frame’s climbing process with your arms
and hold the handlebars in such an angle that the
wheels can grip the next step.
3. The climbing process takes place in two phases per step.
The first phase is finished when the running wheels touch
down on the next step and take over the load from the clim-
bers.
+
Do not hold the handlebars too low because in such
case the running wheels do not reach the next higher
step.
