General information
Congratulations!
You just bought an outstanding stair climber which will quickly become your
indispensable assistant in transporting physically impaired persons.
With the
escalino you can transport a person safely and without great physi-
cal effort upstairs and downstairs; even winding stairs are no problem at all.
Driving on slopes is also possible. For your safety there are safety brakes on
both sides.
Driving on level ground is the
escalino's easiest exercise. The device is light-
weight, veratile and compact.
The
escalino climbs stairs of maximally 21 cm in height. The minimum
height of a step for the device to work properly is 21 cm. The type of stairs,
whether they are winding or straight, does not matter.
As for the width of straight stairs, the
escalino needs 10 cm exceeding its
own width for climbing the stairs.
The minimum platform size of U-shaped stairs depends on factors such as
the attendant's height, etc. our AAT representatives or your local dealer are
happy to advise you in this matter.
1.1
Instruction
The user's manual teaches you step by step the necessary knowledge for ope-
rating the
escalino safely. However, it takes some practise to use the device
properly.
Due to safety reasons the
escalino may only be operated by trained
personnel.
Please read the user's manual carefully before using the
escalino for the first
time. Also, please particularly note the caution signs and safety instructions.
1.2
Care and Maintenance
The most important aspect of care is charging the lead batteries. They are in-
tegrated into the device and must be charged after every use.
Otherwise your
escalino is low in maintenance and does not need particular
care. Please see chapter 8 for detailed instructions.
1.3
Warranty and Liability
For damage caused by disregarding the instructions in the user's manual we
do not assume any kind of liability. Please see details in chapter 9.
