DO’S & DON’TS
DO
Do charge the battery whenever possible. This will extend the battery life. A large number of
cycles can be obtained from operating on the batteries, but battery lifetime is reduced with frequent
discharging.
Do inspect all cables particularly the mains power cable on the charger for any damage; replace
where necessary.
Do stow the handset and if fitted with charger, the mains power cable when transporting the hoist.
Do clean the actuators, control box, charger, battery and handset at regular intervals to remove dust
and dirt
.
DON'T
Don't allow the batteries to fully discharge before connecting to the charger. The batteries are a
lead-acid gel cell type that can be trickled charged continuously (batteries used for standby) and
have a high current discharge capacity. Life is greatly reduced by deep or complete discharging of
the batteries. Longer lifetime is obtained by maintaining fully charged batteries
.
Don't continue to operate the handset by repeatedly pressing the buttons if the hoist function will not
move or the actuator will not function. If this occurs then the actuator has either reached its end
position, the load is too great or there is a malfunction.
Don't exert excessive force on the handset cable as this may break off the wires inside the cable and
prevent some or all of the operations.
Don't continually operate the hoist functions. The system is not designed for continuous operation.
continuous operation will cause batteries to be deeply discharged or to damage the actuator or
control box by overheating.
The exterior of the hoist should only be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized using isopropyl alcohol.
Damp a cloth with isopropyl alcohol and wipe down entire exterior of hoist.
No other chemicals and/or liquids should be used to clean, disinfect and sterilize this hoist.
Caution: Take great care to ensure that no liquids get inside
the hoist. This hoist is not drip proof or water tight. Failure to
protect the hoist from liquids may result in damage to the hoist
and/or may cause personal injury.
