Barton RCL-4002 Operation Manual - page 10

CHARGE YOUR READY CARE LIFT EVERY NIGHT USING THE CHARGER PROVIDED.

1. The lift should not be operated (more than two lifts) when the battery level indicator begins to

    flash yellow. Be sure to charge as soon as possible. Extended use of the battery pack when

    the low battery indicator is flashing may permanently affect the capacity of the batteries in

    the pack.

2. The battery pack should be charged while on the lift. Plug the charger into the charging port

    on the bottom of the electronics pack (see 

Electronics Pack Bottom View on page 14). 

3. The battery pack may also be charged using a separate wall-mounted charging station 

    (optional). The battery pack is simply removed from the lift (see 

Placing and Removing the 

    Battery Pack on page 17) and placed onto the charging station. Charging begins 

    automatically.  

(Note: The charger remains plugged into the charging station).

4. The battery charger provided with the lifter is automatic (when plugged in, it begins to charge 

    automatically and shuts off when charging is completed).  When charging, the yellow LED 

    on the electronics pack (or optional charging station) indicates that the battery is charging. 

    When the LED on the electronics pack (or optional charging station) turns green, the battery 

    is fully charged. 

There is no danger of overcharging the batteries.

5. The 

hand control is electric and controls the raising and lowering of the lift arm. To raise the 

    lift arm, simply press the up button on the hand control. To lower the lift arm, press the down 

    button (see 

Hand Control Overview on page 14).

6. There is an 

emergency lowering switch located on the bottom of the electronics pack (see 

    Electronics Pack Bottom View on page 14). This will enable the lift to be lowered in the event 

    the hand control should fail or the electronics malfunction. If there is a malfunction do not 

    use this lowering method on a continuous basis. The problem should be corrected by 

    qualified service personnel.

7. There is an 

emergency stop button located on the front of the electronics pack (see 

    Interchangeable Battery System Overview on page 14). This will cut power to the motor in 

    case of a malfunction. Push the button to cut power to system. Turn the button in the 

    direction of the arrows (clockwise) to reactivate power to the system. 

8. Examine slings regularly. 

Never use slings that are torn or are showing signs of wear. 

    Replace slings immediately to ensure the safety of your patients.

9. We strongly recommend that you have your lifter inspected and tested by qualified service 

    personnel at least once a year. Service contracts can be arranged through your local Noram 

    dealer.
