1.4 | STABILITY TESTING
This machine has been stability tested to standards EN280 or AS 14180. The most adverse stability test is the
stationary, lateral slope configuration for both units.
The stability test is to be done in compliance with EN280:2015, chapter 6.1.4.2.1, or AS14180 chapter 6.5.2, on an
inclination of 2º, with 408 kg (900 lb.) for model HB-1030CE and 365 kg (804 lb.) for HB-1430CE on the platform,
located as described in the standards.
This test can be simulated on a level surface with no load on the platform, using a side pull that causes the same
overtirning moment as the loads and inclination described above. This equivalent test can be done as shown in the
figure below.
For the HB-1030CE S3 the test weight/pull force is 52 kg (115 lb.)
For the HB-1430CE S3 the test weight/pull force is 55.3 kg (122 lb.)

SECTION 2 | MAINTENANCE
2.1 | BATTERY MAINTENANCE
This unit may be equipped with 12-volt AGM maintenance-free batteries or with deep cycle 12-volt batteries.
NOTE: The surrounding temperature greatly affects the power reserve within a battery.
EXAMPLE: A battery that is 100% charged at 80° F (27°C) drops to 65% at 32°F (0°C). At 0°F (-18°C), this battery will
drop to 40% efficiency.
NEVER ADD ACID TO BATTERY!
Battery Maintenance - WET CELL BATTERIES
The care and maintenance of your battery has much to do with how well this unit functions. Battery wiring and
water level should be checked monthly.
Disconnect battery (either using master power switch or remove battery lead) and make sure the charger is not
plugged in before opening caps.
Do not overfill. When the cells are too full, fluid will seep out when charging. The solution is at its proper strength
when the battery is manufactured. Use distilled water and keep fluid up to proper level. When required, water
should be added to battery after charging, unless water level is below the plates.
2.2 | CHARGING THE BATTERY
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES. KEEP SPARKS AND
FLAME AWAY FROM BATTERIES. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE CHARGING.
The charger is equipped with an interlock circuit. The unit will not operate while charging. Shortened battery life
will result.
To Charge:
•
Park the machine on a level surface.
•
Plug charger into AC outlet until charged.
•
For best battery life, leave the charger plugged in until machine will be used again. The charger will maintain
the battery charge.
