8 Batteries and chargers
Before using the batteries
New batteries should always be fully charged prior to using.
Charge the battery pack daily
The battery pack must be charged daily as total discharge can damage the batteries or shorten
their lifespan.
To charge the batteries:
1: Connect the charger to the lifter and the wall-plug.
The indicator changes to green after 1 to 6 hours, which corresponds to 80%
charge.
The battery pack is fit for use as soon as the green light is on.
However, it is recommended to do a full charge, which takes approximately 8
hours.
The charger automatically charges the batteries and switches to maintenance char-
ging when the batteries are fully charged.
Safety when charging
Use only original charger. Check that the wires are in good condition, connect properly and cor-
rect before applying power. Make sure there are no dirt or water in the plug.

The lifter is equipped with a battery status indicator, which indicates the battery
status when the lift button is activated.
