LINAK BATTERY MAINTENANCE
DO NOT EXPOSE THE BATTERY TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE BATTERY TO PROLONGED PERIODS OF EXTREME HEAT OR
SEVERE COLD TEMPERATURES
DO NOT EXPOSE THE BATTERY TO LONG PERIODS OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT. HEAT WILL

CELSIUS (68 DEGREES F.) AQUA CREEK RECOMMENDS A BATTERY COVER BE USED WITH
SOLAR CHARGERS SINCE THE BATTERY IS LEFT ON THE LIFT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF
TIME
NEVER DROP OR BUMP THE BATTERY PACK. THIS MAY RESULT IN LOOSE OR DAMAGED
INTERNAL CONNECTIONS, AND MAY DAMAGE THE BATTERY TERMINALS.
KEEP BATTERY TERMINALS CLEAN AND FREE FROM DIRT AND CORROSION TO ENSURE
GOOD CONTACT. THE TERMINALS MAY BE CLEANED USING ALCOHOL AND A COTTON SWAB.
CLEAN OFF ANY CORROSION OR DISCOLORATION OF THE BATTERY CONTACTS WITH A
SCOTCH-BRITETM PAD AND THEN APPLY DIELECTRIC GREASE (SUPPLIED WITH LIFT) AS
