Possible causes for a fallen pipe rail trolley are careless transport, unstable pipe rail system, too much manual force, overloading, ignoring the skewers, driving next to the pipes of the concrete path and lifting them on the pipes or on a non-level surface. If the pipe rail trolley falls over, proceed as follows:

1. Switch off the pipe rail trolley.
2. Straighten the vehicle.
3. Remove the covers.
4. Disconnect the batteries.
5. Clean the vehicle.
6. Take the damage.
7. Determine the cause of the fall and remove it.
8. Check the pipe rail trolley and call in a technician if necessary.

Note: beware of liquids if the pipe rail trolley falls over. It may happen that battery fluid leaks out of the pipe rail trolley caused by damage. This is very caustic!

If the pipe rail trolley shows any other faults or problems, consult your dealer.
