Re-Charging the Batteries
An audible warning will sound when the batteries need charging and a visual LCD at
the bottom of the control box will display empty. A fully charged hoist will display a
full battery. Do not continue to use the Stand Aid beyond the lifting operation in
progress at the time the warning first sounds.
The batteries are located within the power pack. They are charged through a
socket connected to the base of the control unit. When charging is required, the
mains lead is plugged into a wall socket outlet and the other end into the control box,
as shown on page 5.
NOTE: Emergency Stop Button must be in ‘OUT’ position when charging
1.
Plug the charger main plug into a suitable mains outlet and switch the mains
supply ON
2.
The amber light will go out once the batteries are fully charged.
Charging is automatic and will fully charge the batteries over a period of eight to
twelve hours
NOTE:
Batteries should be kept on charge when the Stand Aid is not in general
use. this ensures ready availability of the Stand Aid and prolongs battery life. The
internal charger in the control box will not allow the batteries to ‘overcharge’. In
accordance with battery manufacturers recommendations, all batteries should be
fully charged for twenty four hours every four months if in storage or not in regular
use.
NOTE: The Stand Aid will not work if the mains lead is connected to the wall
socket.
DO
NOT expose the battery or control box to water
Before using the stand aid, switch OFF the
mains supply and remove the plug from the
socket outlet. The charger lead can either be
wrapped around the side of the control box,
as shown, or stored separately
