Re-Charging the Batteries
An audible warning will sound when the batteries need charging and a visual
LCD at the bottom of the control box will display empty. A fully charged hoist
will display a full battery. Do not continue to use the Stand Aid beyond the
lifting operation in progress at the time the warning first sounds.
The batteries are located within the power pack. They are charged through a
socket connected to the base of the control unit. When charging is required, the
mains lead is plugged into a wall socket outlet and the other end into the link lead.

that is fitted into the socket in the base of the control unit
2. Plug the charger main plug into a suitable mains outlet and switch the main
supply ON
3. The 'ON' light on the control box will be green to show that the power is reaching
the control box. The 'Charge' light will illuminate amber initially to show that the
batteries are receiving a charge.
4. The amber light will go out once the batteries are fully charged.
Charging is automatic and will fully charge the batteries over a period of eight to
twelve hours
NOTE:
Batteries should be kept on charge when the Stand Aid is not in general use. This
ensures ready availability of the Stand Aid and prolongs battery life. The internal charger in the
control box will not allow the batteries to 'overcharge'. In accordance with battery manufacturers
recommendations, all batteries should be fully charged for twenty four hours every four months if in
storage or not in regular use.
DO NOT use the Stand Aid when the mains lead is connected to the wall socket
DO NOT expose the battery or control box to water
Before using the stand aid, switch OFF the mains supply and remove the plug from
the socket outlet. The charger lead can either be removed from the control box and
stored separately or left in situ on the unit with the mains plug resting on the plug
bracket .
