Charging The Batteries; Operating The Lift - Vermeiren Albatros Mode D'emploi

2.2.4 Charging the batteries

Use only the control box with included battery charger on the Albatros or the external
charger meant to be mounted on the wall.
We recommend that you should regularly recharge the batteries in order to ensure that the
hoist remains usable and to extend the lifespan of the batteries. The control box will give a
warning sound to tell you when the battery charge is on 50% capacity.
FIRST USE
First, insert the supply cable with the connector side into the appropriate connector on the
control box. The plug side of the supply cable must be insert in the socket outlet. The loading
time is about 24 hours.
RECHARGING
L
WARNING: Risk of injury – Do not use the lift when the supply cable is
connected in the socket outlet.
When the batteries are recharging there will burn a yellow light (above
on) and an orange light (above charge).
After the recharging process is completed, you should always remove the mains plug from
the socket first and then remove the connector plug from the control box.
Do not use the lift while it is being recharged!
If the batteries are not used for a significant period, they discharge slowly by themselves
(deep discharge). It then becomes impossible to recharge them with the battery charger
supplied. You should therefore recharge the batteries at least once a month even if they are
not being used.

Operating the lift

Please observe the technical information according to which the patient lifts (Albatros) may
be operated. The patient lift must only be operated by authorised staff who have been
trained in its use and operation.
L
WARNING: Risk of burns – Be careful when driving in hot or cold environments
(sunshine, extreme cold, saunas, etc.) for a sufficient amount of time and when
touching - Surfaces can assume environment temperatures.
2.3.1 Altering the chassis width
To get the lift around a wheelchair or other
seating furniture, or to increase the stability of
the lift in the standing position, the separation of
the chassis legs can be increased.
Stand behind the assembled lift and take hold of
the handles for pushing the patient hoist (on the
left and right, next to the control box). Press the
lever at the bottom of the chassis (left or right)
down with your foot, and the separation of the
legs of the chassis can be increased or
decreased.
