LINAK Drive
The models with the LINAK drive have an acoustic signal
which, during the lifting/lowering operations, indicates that
the battery needs to be charged. At the same time, the LED
shown in the figure to the side activate.
When the LED activates, the device must not be used and the battery must be charged immediately.
This is to prevent any deep discharging which could irreparably damage the battery.
Battery charging can take place in one of two ways:
-
With the battery fitted, namely without it having been removed from its seat and by simply
introducing the battery charger connector into the free socket at the bottom of the control unit.
- With the battery removed from its seat. To remove it, hold the top part, pull the internal release
lever with your fingers and then angle the battery and extract it with an upwards movement.
Insert the battery charger connector into the socket at the bottom of the extracted battery. A
full charge requires approx. 10–12 hours.
General precautions when charging the battery
- Due to the internal leaks (auto discharge), the battery pack supplied with the patient lift may
not be fully charged. The Operator must therefore ensure that the battery is charged for at least
24 hours before the device is used.
- Intensive use of the device will reduce the design life of the battery pack.
- For optimal design life of the battery pack, keep the battery charging for as long as possible using
the battery charger supplied.
-
To ensure battery pack design life, do not wait for the battery to fully discharge before charging
it.
- If the device is used sporadically, charge the battery pack at least once a month.
THE BATTERIES NEED CHARGING AT LEAST EVERY 30 DAYS EVEN WHEN THE DEVICE IS
NOT BEING USED. BATTERIES LEFT UNCHARGED WILL BE IRREPARABLY DAMAGED .
WARNING!!! NEVER USE THE DEVICE WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE CHARGING
If the device is to be stored for a long period, or if not used for more than one week, remove
the battery and keep it in a place with a maximum temperature of 25°C.
