How to Charge a Scissor Lift
Many individuals appreciate the convenience of utilizing a scissor lift. The ease of working and the security offered from the lift's basket provide much more piece of mind than attempting to complete a similar job using 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 an easy job to charge the batteries. This could be done without any particular equipment or tools and needs no heavy labor.
The equipment needs to be positioned next to an electrical output in order to prepare the scissor lift for charging. This charging area 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 situated inside the lift basket, near the control box or the charger. 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.
Then, plug the charger into the AC extension cord. Be certain you are charging in an area 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 when in use, extreme danger could potentially occur.
