Lift-O-Flex 17000 SP 400 Manual Disposal after useful life When the lifter has provided many years of use and is ready to be disposed of, it should be recycled. The LIFT-O-FLEX lifter is manufactured with materials that are recyclable. We have also selected recyclable gel-cell batteries over nickel-cadmium batteries for this purpose. 3. Operating instructions 3.1 Operating In order to prevent and avoid work injuries it is important that the LIFT-O-FLEX be operated in a proper manner. 3.1.1 Charging NOTE: DO NOT OPERATE LIFTER WHEN CHARGING BATTERIES Gel-Cell batteries cannot withstand total discharging and need to be recharged after use. The battery charger supplied with the lifter connects to an ordinary electrical wall outlet and allows for recharging the batteries. Normal Charging requires approximately 6 hours. Note: The battery chargers will not over charge the batteries. The electronic card used on the lifter will not allow for total discharge of the batteries. Continuous lifter use will not hurt the batteries. The batteries will not leak and are maintenance free (18 volt, 6.5 Ahr-Standard). The lifter should be recharged every night, over weekends, holidays and after prolonged periods without use, or the batteries will loose the capability of being recharged. This will ensure that the batteries can achieve a maximum charge and that they will handle the lifts required during the working day. Note: Due to the worldwide disbursement of lifters, one of three (3) types of chargers will be delivered with each lifter in order to meet the various power requirements utilized. North America: 17136-110VAC/18VDC with standard US plug. Europe: 17134-230VAC/18VDC with 2 prong European plug. Pacific Rim: 17082-100-240VAC/18VDC with standard US Plug. The European charger may require a plug adapter to fit countries wall socket. The Pacific Rim charger will require a pigtail adapter from standard US plug to plug to fit countries wall socket. Adapter plugs to fit chargers for wall sockets are the responsibility of Hewlett-Packard. Page 7 Rev July 01
