BATTERY RECHARGE
Recharge boom lift batteries after each 8-hour work
shift or as needed. When boom lift is not in use,
batteries should be recharged at least once per
week. Under normal circumstances, battery
recharge should take approximately 10-12 hours.
However, a full recharge may take up to 24 hours, if
the battery charge is extremely low.
The battery charger is located on the turntable
behind the ground control panel.
WARNING
Recharge batteries in a well-ventilated area only.
Do no charge batteries near fire, spark or other
potential ignition sources. Batteries may emit
highly explosive hydrogen gas while charging.
Failure to properly ventilate the charge gases
may result in serious injury or death. Always
charge boom lift batteries away from flammable
materials.

To recharge the boom lift batteries:
Move the boom lift to a well-ventilated area with
direct access to 120 VAC electrical outlet. Keep
the boom lift and batteries away from open
flame or other potential ignition sources.
Attach a 12 AWG multi-strand, grounded
extension cord with a maximum length of 50 feet
(15 meters) to the receptacle located on the
cargo plate in front of the turntable.
NOTE: Using an underrated or long power cord
will reduce the output of the battery
charger and may extend charge time.
Plug the extension cord into a grounded 120
VAC outlet. Verify that the green indicator LED
is lit on the center of the battery charger
faceplate (Figure 3-8).
Figure 3-8. Battery Charger Faceplate
The charger is equipped with an electronic timer
that activates when the batteries reach a
gassing threshold (2.3 volts per cell). The
indicator LED will begin to flicker.
WARNING
Do not disconnect any output leads or
connectors between the batteries and the
charger when the charger is on. To stop a charge
in progress, always unplug the extension cord
from the AC power source.
After three hours, the electronic timer will cause
the charger to shut off completely, indicated by
the indicator LED going off. The batteries are
now fully charged.
Unplug the extension cord from the 120 VAC
outlet and the charger receptacle on the boom
lift. Store the extension cord for next use.
CAUTION
Always unplug the battery charger power cord
before moving the boom lift. Failure to
disconnect power cord will cause damage to the
equipment.
If LED does not become lit when power is
applied, verify that charger is plugged into a live
circuit.
Clean battery connectors if heavily corroded.
If LED does not go off, the charger has not
reached a gassing threshold and is unable to
actuate the timer. This indicates one or more
shorted cells. Replace defective batteries as
necessary.
