6.4 Handling and Storage
Avoid violent shock during transportation.
The lift should not remain stored for long periods
of time without recharging the batteries.
BHM
Medical
recommends
charging of batteries at least
every two weeks even if the lift is
not used. This will prevent
premature aging of batteries.
6.5 Battery Replacement
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 recharge.
Replace the battery when it has been dropped or
if there is a noticeable reduction in the number of
transfers that can be performed between
charges. If you notice the Voyager Portable
“beeping’
–
see
the
instructions
in
“Troubleshooting” section to ensure it is a
problem with the battery.
To replace a battery, contact your local dealer or
representative and order product # A8500.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A
BATTERY NOT AUTHORIZED BY
BHM MEDICAL.
BHM batteries are specially
designed for BHM charging
systems. Attempting to use an
unauthorized
battery
may
seriously damage the lift and/or
the charger.
6.6 Charger Fuse Replacement
(Charger #A8200 only)
If the charger light does not illuminate when
there is a battery in it, do the following steps:
1. Make sure the battery is properly placed in
the charger. The silver contact points should
be inside the charger.
2. Check to make sure the power cord is
correctly plugged in to the charger and the
wall.
3. If the light still doesn’t work, plug the charger
into a different outlet in a different area to
ensure that the outlet is working properly.
4. Pull the power cord out of the charger.
Under the socket on the charger, there is a
drawer or magazine where there is a fuse.
Using a pen or screwdriver, pull the drawer
out gently. Pull the burnt fuse out of the
drawer that is next to the charger (see
diagram below) and discard. Take the
replacement fuse and place it in the same
slot where the burnt fuse was. Slide the
drawer back into the charger. Plug the
power cord into the charger. Place the
battery into the charger and check for the
light.
5. If the light does not illuminate, contact your
local dealer or representative for assistance.
