Charge the Lift
Before initial use, the lift unit must be charged for 5 hours.
Charge the batteries regularly. Handicare recommends the lift be left on charge when not in
operation, and at the end of each day, which will maximize the life cycle of the batteries.
The lift may remain connected to the charger indefinitely since the charger has a built-in
regulator to eliminate the danger of overcharging.
The ceiling lift charges in one of three ways, depending on its configuration:
•
End-Point Charging – The rail features a charging point at one end, and the lift must be moved to
that point in order to charge. Please refer to A-450/ A-625 Lift Specifications for appropriate charger
options.
•
Constant Charging (Optional) – Charging strips run along the inside of the rail and the lift charges
automatically, at any place on the rail, whenever it is low. When the Constant Charger is charging,
the lift indicator lights solid orange to indicate that the batteries are charging; once charging is
completed, it lights green. The Constant Charger can be attached to all A-450/A-625 lifts except
those equipped with the Return to Charge feature (page 21). The batteries can remain connected to
the charger indefinitely, since the charger has a built-in regulator to eliminate danger from
overcharging. Please refer to A-450/ A-625 Lift Specifications for appropriate charger options.
•
Hand Control Charging – Using an optional barrel charger, the lift can charge through the hand
controller cable. While charging, the lift indicator lights orange; it lights green once the lift is
completely charged. The lift can be charged while turned on or off by the Emergency Down
Strap/Switch. See below for the procedure for charging the lift using the hand controller.
