LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
The load capacity rating as inscribed on the
nameplate of your unit designates the net capacity, assuming
the load is centered on the deck. This capacity must never
be exceeded, as permanent damage or injury may result.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Position of the deck is controlled by the raise/
lower buttons on the touchpad. Speed is controlled from
touchpad. A hand-held pendent control is optional.
BATTERY RECHARGING & CARE
The battery is completely sealed and is,
therefore, maintenance-free and drip proof.
The on-board charger operates on 115VAC and
requires a 3-wire (grounded) extension cord. It monitors
and reacts to the battery voltage, turning on the green
LED on top of the charger when the batteries are fully
charged.
A fully charged battery in good condition should read
12.65 volts. Wait at least 1/2 hour after the charger has
been turned off before checking the battery voltage.
Charge the batteries for at least four hours prior
to first use. The charge interval of this unit will vary based
on the load and frequency of use. Since the majority of
applications require less than the maximum capacity and
only intermittent use the actual time between charging will
only be found through experience. Also, the batteries
should be fully recharged each time. This will increase
the battery life.
• Charge unit at least once every two weeks.
• Leave plugged in when not in used. Disconnect battery
when storing the unit without power for more than one
month.
• The battery charger can be connected for extended
periods without damage to the batteries.
• Do not expose the lift or charger to rain or adverse
conditions.
