BATTERY CHARGING

Follow these steps to charge the onboard battery:

1.Remove the onboard battery from the battery case and place it near a standard electrical wall outlet.

2.Remove the cap from the charger socket located on the bottom of the battery, plug the charger cord into the charger socket, then connect the charger cord to a standard electrical outlet. See figure 9.

PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your charger cord. Plug the charger cord directly into a properly wired standard wall outlet.

PROHIBITED! Removal of the grounding prong can create an electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING! Prevent component damage! Do not attempt to charge the battery and operate the lift system at the same time.

WARNING! Prevent component damage! Do not attempt to wire the lift system directly to the vehicle battery if the lift system is equipped with an onboard battery.

NOTE: It is recommended that you replace the battery every 3–5 years. Store the battery in a moisture-free environment when not in use.

Charger Circuit Fuse

The battery charger cord is equipped with a 7.5A charger circuit fuse. In the event the fuse should cease to work:

1.Remove the cap from the fuse holder, then pull the fuse out of its slot.

2.Examine the fuse to be sure it is blown. See figure 10.

3.Insert a new fuse of the same rating.

WARNING! The replacement fuse must exactly match the rating of the fuse being replaced. Failure to use properly rated fuses may cause damage to the electrical system and may result in personal injury.

Main Circuit Breaker

The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your lift system battery. When the battery and/or motor is heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker trips to prevent damage to the motor and the electronics. If the circuit trips, allow the lift system to “rest” for approximately one minute. Then, push in the circuit breaker button and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
