How to Charge a Scissor Lift
A lot of individuals value the ease of utilizing a scissor lift. The ease of working and the safety offered from the lift's basket offer much more piece of mind than trying to complete a similar task using the step of a ladder. The safety risks involved with this specific machine make it the best choice for carrying tasks from heights.
The majority of scissor lifts are operated by batteries which 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 done without any particular tools or equipment and needs no heavy labor.
In order to prepare the scissor lift for charging, park the machine next to an electrical outlet. Make sure you are doing this 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 large red button located in the lift basket, near the charger or the control box. Find the battery charger on the right side of the base of the lift. Usually, units which are older would have the charger mounted on the back of the lift.
The AC extension cord should 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 while in use, extreme danger could potentially take place.
