The MAXI MOVE has a battery charge indicator
feature with the control handset. The battery
charge level automatically appears on the LCD
soon after the initial start-up, or after returning
from sleep mode (see Fig. 72).
Fig. 72
To prolong the life of the batteries, it is
recommended that the battery pack be recharged
on a regular basis, before the batteries reach a
low state of charge. Care should be taken so that
the batteries are not drained unnecessarily.
The battery indicator on the control handset will
show if the batteries for the MAXI MOVE are
close to being completely empty and it will emit
two beep every minute (see Fig. 73). At that point,
you should complete your transfer and charge the
battery.

If the batteries are completely drained, the lift will
automatically go into sleep mode. With any
attempt to use the lift, the unit will beep 3 times,
and the handset will briefly display the low battery
icon. The lift will then return to sleep mode and
will not be operable unless the batteries are
recharged.
Battery Pack
Battery life is variable (2-3 years) and is
influenced by proper charging practices and load
exertion.
Removing the Battery Pack
When the battery charge indicator on the control
handset displays the low battery icon, complete
the lift cycle. Then take the lift to a convenient
location and remove the battery pack. The
removable battery pack reduces the time your lift
is out of service because of discharged batteries.
To remove a discharged battery pack, push the
red button and pull straight out towards you (see
Fig. 74). Replace the pack with a fully charged
one from the wall mounted charging unit.

Charging your Battery
The MAXI MOVE uses sealed lead-acid batteries
mounted below the control box. Lead-acid
batteries are not subject to a memory effect.
Therefore, they need not be completely drained
before being recharged. The control box is
equipped with an automatic control shut-off after
two minutes of inactivity to prevent any battery
drainage while the lift is in the stand-by mode.
Power to the lift is reactivated by pushing any
handset or control panel button.
It is recommended that the battery pack be
removed from the lift when it is not used for an
extended period of time, and recharged when the
battery discharge indicator on the control handset
display shows a low battery indicator.
To prolong the life of the batteries, recharge them
before they reach a low level of battery charge.
Your lift is equipped with an audible warning
device, which will make a noise when the battery
discharge indicator on the handset displays a low
battery icon.
To ensure that the MAXI MOVE is always ready
for use, it is recommended that a fully charged
battery pack always be on hand. Do this by
having additional battery packs available and
keeping one charging while the other is in use.
When a fully charged battery pack is inserted into
the lift, the display on the handset will show a
green fully charged battery. However, if a partially
charged battery is inserted, the handset will
reflect the corresponding battery level status.
CAUTION: Batteries need to be charged for a
minimum of 8 hours prior to the initial use of the
lift to ensure the efficiency of the product and
extend the battery lifetime .
