How to Charge a Scissor Lift
Lots of individuals appreciate the ease of utilizing a scissor lift. The convenience of working and the security offered from the lift's basket provide much more piece of mind than attempting to carry out a similar task working off the step of a ladder. The safety risks involved with this specific equipment make it the right alternative for completing tasks from heights.
The majority of scissor lifts are operated by batteries that are internally mounted in the base of the lift. These batteries have to be charged after a long shift or due to sitting after extended periods without use. It is an easy task to charge the batteries. This could be carried out without any specialized tools or equipment and needs no heavy labor.
The machine has to be parked next to an electrical output in order to prepare the scissor lift for charging. This charging place should also be in a well-ventilated place. Then, 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 situated near the control box or the charger, inside the basket of the lift. Find the battery charger on the right side of the base of the lift. Normally, older models would have the charger mounted on the back 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 avoid accidental damage from being run over, the length of the electrical cord on the battery charger is intentionally short. This is because if any excess length were to drop out of the battery charger storage area while in use, extreme danger can potentially occur.
