The operator of the lift is to inspect the Medline MDS400EL before each use. Check all bolts for tightness. Make sure the
base can be easily opened, and that all lift parts are in place. Make sure all casters turn freely, and that the caster brakes
can be engaged. Make certain all necessary items (i.e. slings, wheel chairs, etc.) are accessible and ready for use. See the
instructions below to check the battery capacity and appropriate re-charge levels.
At least once a month, the lift should be thoroughly inspected by a qualified technician to recognize any signs of wear,
and/or looseness of bolts or parts. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To lubricate, place a drop of general purpose oil on the following points when the Medline MDS400SA or MDS600SA is
serviced and every month thereafter:
•
Top of mast bolt connection
•
Spreader bar hinge
•
Caster axles
chEckINg BATTERY cAPAcITY
Check batteries by pressing on the control box LCD screen or by pressing the battery indicator on the battery pack.
•
Make sure the battery box red reset/emergency stop button is “ON” (i.e. the red button is up).
•
Insert the AC charging cable into the control box and pug into a working electrical outlet.
•
Batteries require 7-9 hours to be fully charged.
•
A complete initial charge should take approximately 12 hours. Subsequent recharges should take 4 hours or less. Do
not charge the batteries over 12 hours to avoid premature charger wear. Charging longer than 12 hours will not affect
the battery life.
•
Unplug the AC charger cable FIRST before using the lift.
•
Replace the two internal batteries when frequent charging is required.
•
*The Medline MDS400SA & MDS600SA will not operate while the batteries are being charged.
