We recommend that the load bed is lowered as a rule to bottom position following
completed work task.
Switch off the main switch and ensure that there is no unauthorised use.
8 BATTERY
8.1 Function
The batteries are valve-regulated. This means, among other things, that no maintenance is
required such as topping up with water, and that the batteries are fitted with a valve that
releases gas (in very small amounts) whenever required. However, the batteries are so
tight that they can be put on their side or upside down without any risk of leakage. Only use
original batteries from Hallins to ensure that there is no leakage.
8.2 Battery charging
To ensure the longest service life possible for the batteries, they must be
charged at least once every 24 hours, e.g. during the night. The charging
process starts immediately after the plug is inserted in the socket. The
battery cannot be overcharged as the charger changes to maintenance
charging when the battery is fully charged.
8.3 Storage
As the lifting trolley contains batteries it is important how you store the trolley if the machine
is not to be used for a long time.
The battery discharges itself when the lifting trolley is not in use. Different batteries can be
stored for different lengths of time without the battery needing to be charged. An important
and decisive factor is the temperature the battery is stored at. Batteries should always be
stored in a dry area with an ambient temperature as close as possible to +20°C.
The main switch must always be OFF when the lifting trolley is not being used.
8.4 Recycling batteries
Lead batteries are classified as environmentally hazardous waste and therefore must
always be sent for recycling or destruction in order to avoid negative impacts on the
environment.
8.5 Battery Indicator
Battery indicator shows steady light when the batteries are charged, the indicator shows
the battery voltage in ten descending steps. When the batteries are running low, flashing a
staple in the red zone.
Flashing bars indicates an error - see Chapter 12 Troubleshooting list.
