LIFT STIK
D. BATTERY CHARGER CONNECTION
PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
Connect and disconnect the DC output plug
(or clips) only when the AC cord is disconnected
from the electric outlet. Never allow clips
to touch each other.
1. When hooking up the charger, attach the plug into
the twist-lock receptacle on the side of the battery box
or connect the clips directly to the battery on units that
are not pre-wired with a plug on the side of the battery
box.
FOR UNITS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A TWIST-
LOCK, PREWIRED CHARGER PLUG FOLLOW
THESE ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
1. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P,
+) battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGA-
TIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
2. Determine which post of battery is grounded (con-
nected) to the chassis of the machine. Connect the
NEGATIVE (Black) clip from the battery charger to
the machine chassis as far away from the battery as
possible.
3. The POSITIVE (red or white) clip from the battery
charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the bat-
tery.
4. When making each connection, twist or rock clip back
and forth several times to make a good connection and
to reduce the risk of a clip slipping off and creating a
spark. Do not twist or rock clip on the battery after the
second clip connection is made.
5. When disconnecting the charger, disconnect AC cord
from the electrical outlet before removing
any clips from
battery or chassis.

CAUTION
SAFETY SYSTEMS
The lifter is equipped with the following safety sys-
tems:
•
Free-running ball bearings that eliminate the risk of
crushing when lowering.
•
Electronic control panel that disconnects the lifting
feature if the load is greater than the lifter's capacity
or if the load is unevenly distributed (this does not
prevent overloading when the lifter is not lifting).
APPLICATION
The platform may only be used for lifting and handling
goods.
OPERATING THE LIFTER
The lifter is operated using the Commander located on
the lifter's control panel. This is used to operate the lifting
and lowering function.
ñ
The lifter will lift as long as the Commander is
turned clockwise.
ò
The lifter will lower as long as the Commander is
turned anticlockwise.
