The Arjo MAXI MOVE lift may not stay up when there is weight on it if the battery is low or completely drained. When the battery is low, the lift may enter sleep mode and become inoperable until the battery is recharged. An audible warning and low battery icon will indicate this condition. Proper battery maintenance, including recharging before the battery is fully drained, is necessary for correct lift operation.
