7. Charging Instructions (Electric Models Only)
The batteries are located in the power pack and are charged through two contacts on the
base. When the power pack needs charging it is removed from the lift and fitted to a charging
unit. Joerns Healthcare recommend an additional power pack is purchased, so that one pack
can be on charge at all times.
1.
Remove the power pack from the lift. The pack is retained by a simple latch at the top of
the pack. Lift the latch and the power pack will be released.
2.
Fit the power pack to the charging unit. The location and latching of the power pack to
the charger is the same system as used on the lift.
3.
Plug the charger mains plug into a suitable mains outlet and switch the mains supply ON.
4.
Charging is automatic and will fully charge the batteries over a period of eight to twelve
hours. Note: Even if the charger is left plugged in for extended periods it will not allow
the batteries to "overcharge".

from the charger. Fit the power pack to the lift and make sure the latch holding the pack
in place is fully engaged.
The charging of Oxford electric lifts is simple and straightforward, but it is important to
follow the charging instructions closely. Please pay particular attention to the following
points, they will help you avoid problems with discharged batteries.
To avoid possible permanent damage to the battery, the battery should be placed
on charge as soon as the display indicates the half empty battery symbol (Fig. 18,
page 15).
KEEP the batteries fully charged. Place the power pack on charge whenever it is not
in use. If it is more convenient to do so, place on charge every night. The charger
will not allow the batteries to "overcharge".
