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

The battery indicator on Newton 70-250 glows green when the batteries are charged.
When the batteries run the red light is on solid.

9 CLEANING

As the lifting trolley contains electrical components, it is vital that cleaning is carried out as
recommended.
 Remove the load from the load bed before cleaning.
