Stabilizing Arms – Two arms pull out to level the lift and must always be fully extended when the lift is in use.
WARNING: Failure to fully extend both stabilizer arms during transfer could cause lift movement and may result in injury. Both stabilizing arms must be fully extended whenever the lift is positioned for use. Do not retract stabilizing arms during transfer as the lift could move and may result in injury.
Housing – ABS plastic cover shields main frame components from weather. The housing needs to be in place prior to installing mast assembly.
Handle – Connects to Main Frame through openings in housing.
Lift Operator – The unit controls all lift operations identical to the user hand set. Three cables connect to the bottom of the Control Box to enable operation of the lift. The largest connector is for the hand control. Connector # 1 is for the motor cable (red stripe). Connector # 2 is for the actuator cable (green stripe). The LiftOperator® is available with an optional Activation Key feature that provides a higher level of security by allowing control operation only with the use of the activation key.
Touchpad Control – The touchpad control arrow keys can be used in the event that the hand control is out of reach or fails. Simply press and hold the arrow for the desired action for one movement at a time – Up, Down, Left, Right Releasing the Arrow stops movement.
Battery Level LED Indicators – The Battery Level LED Indicators show battery charge levels. The LED’s will illuminate when either the touchpad control or the hand control is activated and will stay lit for 10 seconds. At greater than 50% the LED glows Green, at less than 50% the LED glows Amber, and less than 25% the LED glows red and indicates the battery requires charging. If the less than 25% LED glows red, do not operate the lift. Remove the battery and fully charge before use.
Service Required LED – The Service Required LED will illuminate when the battery pack has been removed/replaced 120 times – approximately once every 4 months. This indicates that required maintenance for the lift must be completed. Please see the maintenance section of the Lift Owner’s Manual for the requirements. The Service Required LED can be reset by inserting a standard FAT-formatted USB mass storage device (not included) into the USB Port on the bottom of the controller. When the service light is illuminated the lift must not be used until required maintenance is performed.
Emergency Stop Button – In the event of an emergency, or if you need to stop lift movement immediately, pressing the Emergency Stop Button (red button on the control) will stop all lift movement. At the same time an audible alert will sound for 10 sec. then pause for 5 sec. and then the sequence will repeat until the button is reset by turning it in the direction of the arrows on the button (clockwise). The Emergency Alert LED will also flash Red when the button is pressed and will remain flashing until the button is reset.
The Emergency Alert (audible and LED) can be activated by pressing any two buttons on the hand control at the same time (provided with the lift). This will stop all lift movement and activate the audible alert and the Red LED will flash. Once both buttons are released, the lift will return to normal operation and the emergency audible alert will silence.
USB Port – The LiftOperator® control contains a USB port that is used to download the performance log of the lift. Using any standard FAT file formatted USB memory stick (widely available through retail outlets) insert the stick into the slot on the bottom of the control on the far right hand side. Press any of the touchpad control arrows; all three of the Battery Level LED’s will flash. During downloading the Green greater than 50% Battery Level LED will flash. If the unit has a problem downloading the performance log the Red less than 25% LED will flash. Remove the USB from the port and re-insert it. If the Red 25% LED flashes again, confirm that the USB you are using is FAT file formatted. The information from the USB can be downloaded to a PC for review and/or copied to a spread sheet. The performance log will retain approximately 7,600 events. Once the file is full it will remove the oldest event and replace with the newest.
After the summary data, the events are shown with the oldest first. The first column is the time in seconds from that last event. The second column is the text describing the event. The third column is duration of the activity noted in seconds.

The battery must be completely removed from the lift and located away from the pool deck for charging.

The battery pack should be charged daily. Do not allow battery to fully discharge, as it will shorten battery life.
The battery pack has an LED indicator near the plug-in-port. It will glow Red when first plugged into the transformer. If the LED remains Red this indicates the battery pack needs charging. When fully charged the LED will glow Green. If the battery is fully charged and is plugged into the transformer the LED will glow Red for approximately 10 sec. then glow Green. If the LED flashes Red when plugged in this indicates a fault with the battery and indicates the battery pack should be replaced. All batteries are inspected prior to shipment. See warranty policy regarding battery replacement for problems after sale. Batteries have a normal lifespan of between 2-3 years, depending on use andcare. A fully charged battery will provide approximately 30 to 40-lifting cycles, depending on the weight of the users. Prior to use the battery charge level should be checked by observing the LED indicator above the charger plug to ensure sufficient charge level. The charger must be connected to the battery to view the LED.
It is not necessary to fully discharge the battery prior to charging. Battery should be charged daily and cannot be overcharged. It takes up to twelve hours to fully charge depending upon battery usage. Do not allow battery to fully discharge, as it will shorten battery life.
Do not drop the battery, as it could cause the unit to fail. If the battery case is cracked do not use and replace the battery. During temperature extremes beyond the range of 41 F (5 C) to 104 F (40 C) remove battery and place in a controlled environment or battery life may be shortened.
