5. Installation and Setup
Connecting the Charger
Follow these steps to properly connect the battery charger:
- Ensure Power is Off: Before making any connections, ensure the AC power source is disconnected and the scissor lift's power is off.
- Connect DC Output Cable: Connect the DC output cable (red and black wires) from the charger to the battery terminals of your scissor lift. Ensure correct polarity: red to positive (+), black to negative (-).
- Connect Interlock Cables: If your system requires it, connect the red/white interlock cables to the appropriate terminals on your scissor lift's control system. These cables typically provide a signal to prevent lift operation during charging.
- Connect AC Input Cable: Plug the AC input cable into the charger's input port.
- Secure Placement: Place the charger in a stable, well-ventilated location, away from flammable materials.

6. Operating Instructions
Indicator Lights
The charger features indicator lights to display its operational status:
- AC (Yellow): Illuminates when the charger is connected to an active AC power source.
- DC (Green): Illuminates when the charger is actively charging the battery.
- 100% (Green): Illuminates when the battery has reached a full charge.
- Error (Red): Illuminates to indicate a fault or error condition. Refer to the troubleshooting section.
Charging Process
To begin charging your scissor lift batteries:
- Ensure all cables (AC input, DC output, interlock) are securely connected as described in the Installation section.
- Plug the AC input cable into a suitable 110VAC or 230VAC power outlet. The yellow AC indicator light should illuminate.
