MAINTENANCE

compromised.

Take note of inspection results in the log book at the end of this manual.

7.4 Handling and Storage

Avoid violent shock during transportation.

The lift should not remain stored for long periods of time without recharging the batteries.

BHM Medical recommends charging of batteries at least every two weeks even if the lift is not used. This will prevent premature aging of batteries.

7.5 Battery Replacement

BHM uses sealed lead-acid batteries. Contrary to nickel-cadmium, BHM batteries do not have any memory effect. Therefore, batteries should not be completely discharged before recharge.

Replace the battery when there is a noticeable reduction in the number of transfers that can be performed between charges. If you notice the Voyager lift “beeping” and a red light flashing, see the instructions in “Troubleshooting” to ensure it is a problem with the battery.

To replace a battery, contact your local dealer or representative.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A

BATTERY NOT AUTHORIZED BY

BHM MEDICAL.

BHM batteries are specially designed for BHM charging systems. Attempting to use an unauthorized battery may seriously damage the lift and/or the charger.

7.6 Charger Fuse Replacement

If the light does not illuminate when there is a battery in it, do the following steps:

1.Check to make sure the power cord is correctly plugged into the charger in the wall.

2.Pull the power cord out of the charger. Under the socket for the power cord, there is a drawer or magazine where there are fuses. Using a pen or screwdriver, pull the drawer out gently. Pull the burned fuse out of the drawer that is next to the charger (see diagram below) and discard. Take the replacement fuse and place it in the same slot where the burned fuse was. Slide the drawer back into the charger. Plug the power cord into the charger. Place the lift onto the charger and check for the light.

3.Check the outlet to make sure it has power to it.

4.If the light does not illuminate, contact your local dealer or representative for assistance.

Replace the fuse with the following:

Fuse: GMC 0.5 A 250 V North America (when input is 120 Vac) Product # C8FGMC0.5

GMC 0.25 A 250 V European (when input is 240 Vac) Product # C8FGMC0.250

The fuse may also be ordered through your local dealer or representative.
