charger determines that the battery needs to be charged, the LED on the charger will change to
red.
The red LED will turn green when the battery is fully charged. This charger has internal
monitoring circuitry that will not overcharge the battery, if the battery is left on the charger for
extended periods of time the charger will go into short charging cycles at intervals to keep the
charge level at optimal.
*Charger accepts 110 VAC
When the battery is fully charged, remove it from the charging cradle and install the battery on
the lift. The Battery Capacity Indicator on the receiver will show a green LED, indicating that the
battery is fully charged and installed properly. When the LED changes to amber the lift is still OK
to use. However when the LED changes to red, or an audible tone is heard during a lift cycle,
the battery pack needs to be recharged.
To keep the battery from discharging to the point of causing damage, it is important to
charge the battery at least once monthly, even if the battery has not been installed on the
lift.
After initial break in, the battery should last approximately 90 cycles at the full 350# load rating
of the lift before it needs recharging. The battery will need to be replaced after 500 to 800
charge cycles or 3-4 years if properly maintained (approximately 20,000 lifting cycles).
Care and Maintenance
The following should be performed periodically to ensure safe and dependable use.
1. Remove any discoloration with a 3M scratch pad (stainless steel components only).
Wipe clean with a sponge dampened with Spectra Clean. Repeat these steps several
times to passivate the stainless steel. Lift maintenance kits are available from Spectrum
(Part Number 152161-MT). Do not spray with high-pressure water, only clean with non-
chlorinated water.
2. Check all electrical connections
– Check any external electrical cables for wear and/or
breakage in the outer insulation.
3. Check all mechanical connections
– inspect the Nylock Nuts on all moving parts and
make sure they are snug. Lubricate all pivot points with light oil (3-1).
4. To maintain the battery properly, the battery must be fully charged monthly. If the battery
goes for longer than 3 months without a charge, the battery will have significantly
reduced capacity.
5. Apply Dielectric grease to the battery connections and receiver connections where the
battery and receiver meet.
6. Grease bearing assembly every 6 months using the grease fitting at the bottom of the
mast.
