How to Use the Ergolift 2 

 

 

13

Anti-crush Feature 

To prevent damage or injury, the motor on 
the lift has a limit switch that recognizes 
when the boom is being lifted or pressed 
upward. This limit switch will stop the 
motor until the boom is no longer being 
lifted or pressed upward. This will ensure 
that the motor stops if the boom is 
unknowingly being lowered onto an object 
or patient. To check this feature, press the 
button on the handset or control box then lift 
up the boom. The motor will stop.  

 

Battery Information 

 

WARNING: Do not drop the battery 
because it may cause internal damage 
that is not visible. It may lose its energy to 
recharge.  
 

Due to internal damage caused when 
the battery is dropped, the battery may 
indicate it is fully charged, when in fact 
it cannot hold a full charge.  A green 
light indicated on the charger may not 
accurately reflect a full charge on a 
damaged battery. 

NEVER attempt to use a battery that 
appears to be damaged or dented. 

DO NOT store the battery near a heat 
source.  Heat will damage it. 

Always keep metal battery contacts 
clean. 

 

 

24 Vdc, 7.5 Ah rechargeable battery. 

 

Provides 80-100 transfers per battery 
charge (may vary depending on patient 
weight and battery condition). 

Life cycle (number of charging cycles) of 
the battery is largely dependent on the depth 
of discharge in each cycle. The more the 
battery is drained, the shorter its lifespan. 
The life of the battery is also related to such 
factors as varying temperatures and rest 
periods between charge and discharge. 

 
 

CAUTION: To prolong battery life, plug the 
unit in an outlet WHENEVER THE LIFT IS 
NOT IN USE.  

The battery will not overcharge.  

BHM uses sealed lead-acid batteries. 
Contrary to nickel-cadmium, BHM 
batteries do not have any memory effect.  
Therefore, batteries should not be 
completely drained before recharging 
them. 

 

CAUTION: Do not drain the battery 
excessively. This will dramatically reduce 
the battery life span. 

If the low battery buzzer sounds, be sure 
to recharge the battery as soon as 
possible. 

Charging the Battery 

 

WARNING: Do not operate the charger 
unit with a damaged cord or if the unit has 
been damaged. 

DO NOT forcibly bend the power cord or 
place a heavy object on it. This will 
damage the cord and may cause a fire or 
electrical shock. 

 

WARNING: Do not place the unit in 
locations that are: 

  Extremely hot; 

  Dusty or dirty; 

  Humid; 

  Moving or vibrating. 

The recharging steps should be as follows: 

Plug the power cord into a standard three-
prong outlet. 

Check the charging indicator light to ensure 
that it is illuminated. 

 

WARNING: When the battery is low, the 
low battery indicator emits an audible 
intermittent beep and the red light 
illuminates.
