IX. BATTERY CHARGING
Your Ultra Lift is equipped with a spill proof 12 volt, deep cycle, sealed battery
and a fully automatic battery charger. The battery should provide well over a
year of reliable service if the charging procedures detailed below are followed
consistently.
1.
Use only the battery charger provided with your Ultra Lift
. It has
been pre-set at the factory to raise the battery voltage to a maximum of
14.1 volts (2.35 volts per cell) as specified by the battery manufacturer.
2.
Charge the battery as soon as possible after each day of use.
As the
battery is discharged during machine operator, a component of the
electrolyte is absorbed into the battery plates. Prompt recharging
dissolves and recycles the electrolyte back to useable form. If the
battery remains discharged for an extended period of time the electrolyte
in the battery plates
will not
dissolve during recharging. The result will
be reduced battery capacity and life.
NOTE: Batteries that are in storage must be topped off
monthly to prevent crystallization of the electrolyte.
The charger provided with your Ultra Lift is fully automatic and shuts
off complete with the battery is charged. It will also automatically turn
on again when the battery is discharged.
This means that the charger
can remain connected to the battery indefinitely without damaging
the
battery
. It is, therefore, recommended that you plug your Ultra Lift
into the battery charger at the end of each day of use and leave the
Ultra Lift plugged into the charger until you are ready to use it again.
The charger is equipped with an automatic monitoring system. Plug the
charger into a power outlet. When the charging plug is inserted into the
charge receptacle in the battery housing a yellow indicator light will
appear. The yellow light indicates that the battery is being charged.
A steady green light indicates charging is complete. The charger will
then automatically issue a periodic pulse to maintain voltage at the
proper level.
