Caution: The charger must be located outside
the patient vicinity at all times. The patient vi-
cinity is the space with surfaces likely contacted by
the patient or an attendant who can touch the pa-
tient. This space is 6 feet (1.83m) beyond the pe-
rimeter of the bed, examination table, etc., extend-
ing vertically 7-1/2 feet (2.29m) above the floor.

Figure 12D - Connect the charger to
the lift. Be sure to line up the 3 metal
prongs on the end of the charger with
the 3 holes in the black lift "DC"
connection.
Figure 12E - Charger is connected
to the lift. The indicator light on
the charger will be ORANGE
indicating that the lift is charging.
The batteries of the lift should be charged on a regular basis.
It is recommended that the lift be left on charge when not in
operation, and at the end of each day. This will maximize the
life cycle of the batteries.
The lift may remain connected to the charger indefinitely
since the charger has a built-in regulator, eliminating the
danger of overcharging.
Step 1) Familiarize yourself with the basic components of the
charging system. Refer to figures 12A and 12B.
Step 2) Place the lift and charger on a safe surface such as a
table or counter top. The surface must be clean and dry, and
away from the reach of a child.
Step 3) Turn the lift OFF as described in the section titled
" Turning the lift ON/OFF
Step 4) Plug the charger "AC" wall plug into a nearby wall
outlet. The indicator light on the charger will turn GREEN.
Caution: Do not use an electrical extension to extend
the reach of the "AC" wall plug.
Step 5) Take hold of the charger "DC" output plug
and visually observe that it has three (3) prongs inside
of its metal case. These are designed to fit into the
three (3) holes that are located on the black lift "DC"
connection. Refer to figure 12C.
Step 6) Take the charger "DC" output plug and con-
nect it to the black lift "DC" connection being careful
to ensure that the metal prongs from the charger plug
fit into the holes of the black lift connector. When this
is completed correctly, then the indicator light on the
charger will turn ORANGE.
Caution: Do not operate the lift while it is con-
nected to the charger.
After a minimum of 1 hour the charger can be disconnected
from the lift, and the lift put into use. However overnight
charging is recommended.
Caution: Do not allow the batteries to become
discharged below the low battery alarm, as this
will decrease overall battery life and performance.
Caution: Use only the charger that was sup-
plied with the lift. Use of any other charger will
void all warranties and may cause damage to the
lift.
