long storage period, must be charged until the
charger indicates full charge.
Battery discharge indicator

incorporates a Battery Discharge
Indicator, situated on the right hand side of the
cover (see Fig. 1). The display shows eight levels of
battery state ranging from fully charged on the right
to very low on the left (filled segment to empty
segment).
It is recommended that the battery is removed from
the lift and charged when the display reaches the 3
filled segments and the buzzer beeps once every 10
seconds. Lifting is possible until the display shows
one filled segment and the buzzer beeps
continuously. At this point, the battery must be
charged as soon as possible.
