Charge the Lift
Before initial use, the lift unit must be charged for 5 hours.
Charge the batteries regularly. Handicare recommends the lift be left on charge
when not in operation, and at the end of each day, which 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 to eliminate the danger of overcharging.
The ceiling lift charges through the barrel connection on the hand control cable. While charging,
the lift indicator light located on the bottom cover membrane is orange; it turns green once the
lift is completely charged. The lift can only be charged while the emergency stop switch is in
the ON position. See section "Charge through the Hand Control" for further information.
To charge AP-450 lifts through the hand control:
1. Ensure the hand control is plugged into the AP-450 lift. See section "Connect the Hand
Control"
2. Pull out the protective cap from the Hand Control connector.
3. Align the charger's barrel connector with the opening on the hand control's charger
connection point.
