ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY-POWERED UNITS
WARNING!
Working with or near lead acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries
contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive gases. A battery
explosion could result in loss of eyesight or serious burns.
Do not smoke or allow a spark or flame near batteries. Charge
batteries in locations which are clean, dry and well ventilated.
Do not lay tools or anything metallic on top of any battery. All
repairs to a battery must be made by experienced and qualified
personnel.
When working with batteries, remove personal items such as
rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches. A battery can
produce enough voltage to weld jewelry to metal causing a
severe burn.
Always have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
Operating the battery with a low battery voltage can cause
permature motor contact failure.
Do not expose the lift or charger to rain or adverse conditions.
Replace defective cords or wires immediately.
BATTERY CHARGER
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Never operate the charger with either of the cables coiled.
Operating the unit wit the cord wrapped around itself could
cause the cord to overheat, melt, and cause a short-circuit or
file.
Plug the charger into a standard 115V receptacle. If an
extension cord must be used, keep it as short as possible.
Connection: the ribbed wire of the charger's output cord must
be connected to the batter's negative (-) terminal. The non-
ribbed wire must be connected to the batter's positive (+)
terminal. Reversing this polarity will blow the charger's ouput
fuse.
8
When properly connected, the charger will indicate the status
of charger output.
Flashing green, solid red LED - the charger is not seeing a good
connection to the battery, or the charger's ouput fuse has
blown.
Solid yellow and red LED's - the charger is providing a charging
current to the battery.
Solid green and red LED's - the charger is maintaining a fully-
charged battery.
Caution: Remember to unplug the charger before moving the
equipment. Fauilure to do so could cause damage to cords,
receptacles and other equipment.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the unti does not operate, check all the wiring connections to
make sure they're both machanically and electrically sound -
specifically at the battery, the motor, and at any location a wire
is connected to the chassis. Also make sure the quick-connect
plug on the end of the pendant control cord is plugged in
correctly.
A fully-charged lead acid battery is good condition at room
temperature should read 12.65 volts. At 11.9 volts it is
considered to be fully discharged an in need of charging. When
checking battery voltage, wait at leas 1/2 hour after the charger
as been turned off before checking the battery's voltage.
If the batteries don't seem to be taking a charger, check the
charger's 115V supply circuit, the charger's 10A output fuse,
and the charger's output with a voltmeter. If all check okay,
confirm the battery's state of charge using a hydrometer or a
voltmeter.
