Battery Charging
WARNING
NEVER use or move the patient lift while
battery is being charged.
NOTE: Ensure batteries are regularly charged,
preferably EVERY NIGHT. This will prolong their
life and maintain peak performance.
The battery charger is fully automatic and can be
connected to the lift at any time, OTHER THAN WHEN
LIFT IS IN USE. It is recommended that the lift charging
take place in a well ventilated dry room. This should be
EVERY NIGHT and/or when the audible alarm sounds
during operation. The battery charger has a round output
plug which is plugged into the patient lift hand-control.
The RED emergency stop button, mounted on the top of
control box MUST be DISENGAGED (rotated
CLOCKWISE until fully out) during charging (FIGURE
4).

STOP BUTTON
CAUTION
It is important to ensure that both input and
output plugs are correctly inserted before
connection of power. If the patient lift is
charged with any other type of charger, it is
possible to irreparably damage the batteries.
The charger automatically stops charging when the
batteries are fully charged; therefore, it is perfectly
safe to leave the patient lift on charge whenever it
is not being used to ensure peak performance.
