5. Setup

Before connecting the charger, ensure the Genie Lift is turned off and secured. Verify that the battery system is 24V.

1. Mounting (if applicable): If the charger is to be permanently mounted, choose a location that is dry, well-ventilated, and away from flammable materials. Ensure there is sufficient space for air circulation around the cooling fins.
2. Connect DC Output Cables: Connect the positive (red) output cable from the charger to the positive terminal of the battery bank. Connect the negative (black) output cable to the negative terminal. Ensure connections are clean and secure.
3. Connect Interlock Wires: If your Genie Lift system utilizes an interlock feature, connect the yellow interlock wires from the charger to the corresponding terminals on the lift's control system. This typically prevents the lift from operating while charging. Refer to your Genie Lift's specific wiring diagram for correct connection points.
4. Connect AC Input Power: Plug the AC power cord into the charger's input port, then plug the other end into a grounded electrical outlet (100-240V AC, 50-60Hz).
5. Initial Check: Once all connections are made, observe the charger's indicator lights (if present) to confirm it is receiving power and detecting the battery.
