7. Charging Instructions

The batteries are located in the power pack and are charged via an off board desktop charger unit. 

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE HOYER CALIBRE 

When the power pack needs charging it is removed from the lift and fitted to an off board 

charging unit. 
Joerns Healthcare recommend an additional battery pack is purchased, so that one pack can be 

on charge at all times.

1.

  Remove the power pack from the lift. The pack is retained by a simple latch at the top of the 

power pack. Lift the latch and the power pack will be released.

2.

  Fit the power pack to the charging unit. The location and latching of the power pack to the 

charger is the same system as used on the lift.

3.

  Plug the charger mains plug into a suitable mains outlet and switch the mains supply ON.

4.

  Charging is automatic and will fully charge the batteries over a period of eight to twelve hours. 

Note:

 Even if the charger is left plugged in for extended periods it will not allow the batteries 

to overcharge.

  a)  Green Light - Indicates main power is on.

  b)  Yellow Light - Indicates battery is charging.

  c)  Battery will be fully charged when yellow light goes off.
 

Note:

 Charging will take up to four (4) hours.

  It is recommended that the battery be charged immediately upon receipt.

5.

  To return the lift to service, switch OFF the mains supply and remove the power pack from the 

charger. Fit the power pack to the lift and make sure the latch holding the pack in place is fully 

engaged. “Click” in place. The charging of Hoyer electric lifts is simple and straightforward, but 

it is important to follow the charging instructions closely. Please pay particular attention to the 

following points, they will help you avoid problems with discharged batteries.
