How to Charge a Scissor Lift
A lot of people appreciate the convenience of using a scissor lift. The convenience of working and the safety offered from the lift's basket provide much more piece of mind than trying to perform a similar job utilizing the rung of a ladder. The safety risks involved with this machinery make it the best choice for carrying tasks from heights.
The majority of scissor lifts are operated by batteries which are internally mounted inside the lift's base. These batteries need to be charged following a long shift or due to sitting after extended periods without use. It is a simple task to charge the batteries. This could be carried out without any specialized equipment or tools and requires no heavy labor.
In order to prepare the scissor lift for charging, position the machine next to an electrical outlet. Make sure you are doing this in a well-ventilated place. After that, 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, in the basket of the lift. Find the battery charger on the base of the lift on the right side. Often, older models would have the charger mounted on the rear of the lift.
After that, plug the charger into the AC extension cord. Be certain you are charging in a place which is well ventilated and after that plug the extension 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 purposely short. This is because if any extra length were to drop out of the battery charger storage place while in use, extreme danger can likely take place.
