How to Charge a Scissor Lift
Lots of individuals appreciate the ease of utilizing a scissor lift. The convenience of working and the safety offered from the lift's basket provide much more piece of mind than attempting to carry out a similar task utilizing the rung of a ladder. The safety risks involved with this specific equipment make it the right alternative for carrying tasks from heights.
Most scissor lifts are operated by batteries which are internally mounted inside the lift's base. These batteries have to be charged following a long shift or due to sitting after extended periods without use. It is a simple job 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 positioned near an electrical output in order to prepare the scissor lift for charging. This charging place should also be in a well-ventilated place. After that, in order to avoid 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 found near the charger or the control box, inside the basket of the lift. Find the battery charger on the right side of the base of the lift. Normally, older units would have the charger mounted on the back of the lift.
After that, plug the charger into the AC extension cord. Be certain you are charging in an area which is well ventilated and after that plug the extension cord into an electrical outlet. So as 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 likely occur.
