USING THE MACHINE
The battery charger supplied with the elevating platform was desi‐
gned to ensure safety and reliable performance. It is already fitted on
the machine and does not need any adjustment or configuration by
the user; nonetheless, to avoid injury and damage to the battery char‐
ger, the following essential precautions should be observed.
To maximize the performance of the battery is recommended to charge via the
network cable for at least 12 hours at least 1 time per month, even if the machine
is not used.
• Carefully read the installation instructions contained in this manual. For futu‐
re reference, keep the manual in a safe place.
• Do not place the battery charger near sources of heat.
• As the battery charger is sealed and without forced ventilation, its performan‐
ce depends on the temperature and the type of installation.
• Make sure that the type of power supply available corresponds to the voltage
specified and indicated on the battery charger rating plate or in this user and ope‐
ration manual. In case of doubt, contact your reseller or the local electrical com‐
pany.
• An AC class circuit breaker can be used as protection device for the battery
charger power supply, however it is recommended to use a class A or class B de‐
vice.
• With regards to safety and electromagnetic compatibility, the battery charger
features a three‐pins plug with earth, which can only be plugged into an earthed
socket. If the plug does not go into the socket, most probably the socket is old and
not earthed. In this case, contact an electrician to have the socket replaced.
• Do not use adapters to resolve earth plug problems.
• Make sure the power cable does not represent an obstacle. If the cable is worn
or damaged, have it replaced immediately.
• If extensions or multiple sockets are used, make sure that these support the to‐
tal rated current.
• Disconnect the power supply before connecting or disconnecting the battery.
• The battery charger installed was specially designed to recharge the type of li‐
thium batteries used on the platform. Do not attempt to recharge any other type
of batteries.
• Do not attempt to repair the battery charger. Opening the cover may expose
the user to the risk of electric shock.
• Do not open the battery charger, opening it may affect the index of protection
(IP) even after it has been closed again.
