To charge the battery, if necessary. A battery charger is built into each column. Plug the battery
charger power supply cord into a 110 volt grounded electrical outlet. Charge each mobile column lifts
using a separate electrical outlet. Best performance will be obtained by charging all mobile column
batteries at the same time. While charging, the red CHARGING lamp will be lighted. After the
batteries are fully charged (about 10 hours), this red lamp will be off and the green FINISHED lamp
will be lighted
When the lifts are new, charge the batteries for the first time approx. 12-15 hours or until the charging
indicator light turns green. Battery charging after 20-30 cycles will typically take 6-8 hours. When the
batteries are fully charged, disconnect the electrical cable and store in the charger bay.
To install the communication cable reels, first insert the reel holding frame into the base on the
upper cover of the column. Then fix the reel on the base by screws. Plug the communication cable
end into the socket on that specific column.
