loads on both forks (not one).

capacities on manufacturers name plate.
Make sure travel and work area is clear of obstruc-
tions.
Check overhead clearance before lifting loads or trans-

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
A. PREPARING TO CHARGE A BATTERY
1. Be sure area around lift and the battery is well
ventilated while battery is being charged.
2. The battery terminals, connections and wiring
including the plug in the battery box and charger
connections should be clean and free of corrosion.
When cleaning any of these components wear a face
shield or other suitable protective eyewear.
3. For a sealed battery (a battery without cell caps)
carefully follow the manufacturer’s recharging
instructions that are provided with the battery. If
you do not have a copy of these instructions or
the instructions for the battery charger they are
available free of charge by calling Presto Lifts @
1-800-343-9322.
4. Read, understand and follow all battery and battery
charger manufacturer’s specific precautions while
working with and/or charging batteries.
B. LOCATING THE CHARGER
1. Locate charger as far away from battery as the
cables permit.
2. Do not operate charger in a closed area or restrict
ventilation in any way.
C. PRECAUTIONS FOR GROUNDING
AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION
Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric
shock. Charger is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Brace or block lift when sliding loads on or off platform
or forks.
