Battery Life
The life of the battery is determined on the
amount of usage between charging. This is
best explained as follows:
•
100% discharging depth: If the
battery is totally discharged, there is
approximately 180 charging cycles
available.
•
50% discharging depth: If the battery is
MAINTENANCE
The Powered Dandy Lift Series requires
minimal maintenance. The Powered
Dandy Lift Series is designed for a life of
approximately 10,000 cycles after which a
new actuator may be required.
Daily inspection: Make sure there are no
foreign objects in the way of the rollers and
the scissor legs. Make sure all wires are
plugged into the control box.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
1) Check all welds, making sure they are
intact, no cracks or broken spots.
2) Turn the Powered Dandy Lift Series on
its side and check that the caster bolts
are tight. If the caster with the direction
lock requires tightening, engage the
direction lock and ensure that the
castor is pointing straight ahead before
tightening.
3) Check that the cotter pins on the
actuator pivot bolts are in place.
4) Inspect the cable and plug for signs of
damage.
5) Inspect the battery control box
assembly for obvious signs of abuse.
6) Use a clean rag to wipe the paths along
which the rollers travel.
7) Lubricate (WD-40) pivots and roller
pins.
ANNUALLY or 3000 CYCLES
1) Dismantle.
2) Lubricate (WD-40) pivots and roller
pins.
3) Clean.
