The utilization of the machine when the in-
dicator led is blinking could damage the battery.
b) SIGNALS:
Do not move the track mobile stairclimber
before checking the visual signal operation against
tipping.

8.6) Stair gradient check
This check should be done on stairs never
faced before.

mm (Fig. 8).
b) Operating manually, without person on board, on
approaching the first stage of the stair to travel, press
the push button control (Fig. 4/a), travel on a section
of stair, release the push button and make sure that
the gradient indicator placed (Fig. 4/c) on the stee-
ring-bar is in the green field (Gradient under 35°).
If the indicator is in the red field (Gradient above 35°),
it is not possible to travel on that staircase.
Green indicator: correct gradient
