Battery instructions
Recharging the battery pack before it reaches a low state
of battery charge or certainly totally discharged will
prolong its life.
To make sure the
Sara Plus
is always ready for use, it is
recommended that a freshly charged battery pack is
always available. This is achieved by having additional
battery packs available and keeping one on charge while
the other is in use.
It may be considered good protocol to have a freshly
charged battery ready for the start of every work shift.
The battery life is variable (2-5 years) and mainly
depends on proper charging practices. To extend the
battery life, the battery must be charged at regular
intervals until the charger indicates full charge. This can
be done overnight.

Warning:
Hold the pack firmly to make
sure it does not drop and become
damaged, or cause personal injury.
The cable that connects the main
electricity supply to the charger is
supplied as a detachable item. If using
the battery charger for the first time or if
the cable has been unplugged from the
charger, connect the cable fully into the
charger before connecting to the mains
electrical socket.
Note:
Warning:
Always make sure the cable
connection plugs that fit into the charger
and into the battery are fully inserted
before switching on mains electricity.
The battery pack may be left connected
to the charger unit when it is fully
charged without being damaged by
overcharging, this will also make sure
the battery is kept fully charged.
Note:
Caution:
Turn off the hoist after use by
pressing the red Power off button. This reduces
the power consumption.
