How to Charge a Scissor Lift
Many individuals value the ease of utilizing a scissor lift. The ease of working and the safety offered from the lift's basket provide a lot more piece of mind than attempting to complete a similar job utilizing the rung of a ladder. The safety risks involved with this specific machine make it the right option for carrying tasks from heights.
Nearly all scissor lifts are operated by batteries that are internally mounted in the base of the lift. These batteries have 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 particular equipment or tools and needs no heavy labor.
The machinery needs to be parked next to an electrical output so as to prepare the scissor lift for charging. This charging place must 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 found near the control box or the charger, inside the lift basket. Find the battery charger on the right side of the base of the lift. Normally, older models would have the charger mounted on the rear of the lift.
After that, plug the charger into the AC extension cord. Be sure you are charging in a place that is well ventilated and afterward plug the extension 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 extra length were to drop out of the battery charger storage place while in use, extreme danger could potentially take place.
