How to Charge a Scissor Lift
Numerous individuals value the ease of utilizing a scissor lift. The ease of working and the safety offered from the lift's basket provide much more piece of mind than attempting to perform a similar job using the step of a ladder. The safety risks involved with this machine make it the right option for carrying jobs from heights.
The majority of scissor lifts are operated by batteries that are internally mounted inside the lift's base. These batteries have to be charged following a long shift or due to sitting after extended periods without use. It is a simple job to charge the batteries. This could be done without any particular tools or equipment and needs no heavy labor.
The equipment needs to be parked near an electrical output in order to prepare the scissor lift for charging. This charging place must also be in a well-ventilated area. Next, in order to prevent another operator from driving away with the lift plugged in, press the emergency shut-off switch. The emergency shut off switch is the big red button found in the basket of the lift, near the charger or the control box. Find the battery charger on the right side of the base of the lift. Usually, units that are older would have the charger mounted on the rear of the lift.
The AC extension cord must next be plugged into the charger. Be certain to charge in a well ventilated place and plug the cord into an electrical outlet. In order to prevent accidental damage from being run over, the length of the electrical cord on the battery charger is intentionally short. This is because if any extra length were to drop out of the battery charger storage place when in use, extreme danger could likely take place.
