Battery Charging - Sunrise Medical SUNLIFT Directions For Use Manual

5. Emergency down: This allows you to automatically lower the hoist's mast, if the hand control should fail. This last manoeuvre can be
done both manually and electronically.
• Manually: by twisting the cylinder at the top of the actuator clock-wise, the engine is released mechanically, allowing safe descent of
the user.
• Electronically: the button is located under the battery charger base. It is a switch that requires operation with a fine point (such as a
pen, for instance), and can be found under the word EMERGENCY, with an arrow pointing down.
6. Mobilising the hoist and patient transfer: Mobilising the hoist must always be performed with the caregiver firmly holding both push
handles. Transfer of the patient should be performed with the patient slung in front of the caregiver
7. The noise level of the hoist in use is 45.5 db (A).

Charging the battery
Batteries are fitted in a battery case which fits into the charger base on the mast. Charge the batteries with the charger cable provided.
An additional charger base and battery are available as accessories, enabling one to be recharging at all times.
1. Connect the charger cable to the charging socket on the charger base.
2. Connect the cable to the mains (220V/ 240 V).
3. Recharging is automatic. A full battery charge lasts between 8 and 12 hours.
4. To use the hoist, first disconnect the charger cable from the mains, and then from the hoist.
5. The lights indicate the charge of the batteries:
• "ON" green light c Connected to the mains
• "CHARGE" orange light c Batteries are charging
• "CHARGE" light will turn off once batteries reach full charge
Before battery is completely discharged, every time you push the lift/descend button in the hand control, a beep will warn you that you can
perform one last action using the Emergency down button.
6. The batteries are protected from fully discharging by a charge level alarm. If the hoist is not in use, the warning beep will not sound.
DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING SIGNAL. Finish the operation you are carrying out when it goes off and then connect the hoist for
recharging.
7. The recharging is done automatically. Note: Even if the charger is left connected for a long time, it will not allow the batteries to over-
charge.
8. In order to operate the hoist again, please disconnect the charger cable
