Charging the Batteries

Indications for Charging the Battery
In the event of low battery voltage, a signal from the control box will sound. The sound will occur only when one button on the hand control is pushed in. When this happens, the battery must be charged as soon as possible. However, there is still sufficient power for additional lifts.

Battery Charging and Maintenance

• To get maximum battery life, it is important to charge the battery regularly. We recommend charging after use of the lift or every night. Batteries are fully charged after approx. 6 hours. When the battery is fully charged, the charger is switched off automatically. If the lift is not used every day, we recommend connecting it to the charger, or pressing the emergency stop after use, in order to turn off the power and save the battery. Ensure that the battery is fully charged before pressing the emergency stop.
  NOTE: The lift cannot be charged with the emergency stop engaged.
  NOTE: When charging, a yellow indicator light on the control box will illuminate. The yellow light turns off when the battery is fully charged. If the light has not turned off after 8 hours of charging, the battery may need to be replaced. Stop charging and replace the battery.

• Never charge batteries in a wet area.

Alternative Charging Procedures

Built-in Charger (standard):
Connect the charger cable to an electrical outlet (100-240 V AC). Make sure that both lights on the control box are lit. The yellow light indicates charging and the green light indicates that power is being supplied to the charger. If the charger cable is beginning to stretch, it should be replaced in order to minimize the risk of the cable getting caught and breaking.

NOTE: The lift cannot be used when the charger cable is plugged into an electrical outlet.

Wall-Mounted Charger or Table Charger:
Remove the battery from the control box by releasing the locking device on top of the battery.

• Alt. A. (accessory) Place the battery on the wall-mounted charger. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet (100-240 V AC). Make sure that both lights on the charger are lit. The yellow light indicates charging and the green light indicates that power is being supplied to the charger.
• Alt. B. (accessory) Place the battery on the charger in the table charger housing. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet (100-240 V AC). Make sure that both indicator lights on the charger are lit. The yellow light indicates charging and the green light indicates that power is being supplied to the charger.

Liko M220 and M230 comply with the Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment. Old batteries are to be deposited at the nearest recycling facility in accordance with local regulations or given to personnel authorized by Liko/Hill-Rom.

Maximum Load

Different maximum loads may apply to different products on the assembled lift unit: lift, sling bar, sling and any other accessories used. For the assembled lift unit, the maximum load is always the lowest maximum load rating for any of the components. For example, a Liko M220/Liko M230 which is approved for 182 kg (400 lbs) can be equipped with a sling which is approved for 200 kg (440 lbs). In this case, the maximum load of 182 kg (400 lbs) applies to the assembled lift unit. Check the markings on the lift and lifting accessory or contact your Liko/Hill-Rom representative if you have any questions.

Recommended Lifting Accessories

Using lifting accessories other than those approved can entail a risk.
When changing lifting accessories, the highest possible lifting height of the lift is affected. Therefore, before changing lifting accessories you should always ensure that the lift, after change, can fulfil the desired lifting height in order
to manage the lifting situations for which the lift is to be used.
For Liko M220 and Liko M230 all slings compatible with Universal SlingBar 450 are recommended. To select suitable slings and other lifting accessories, refer to the brochure ”Lifting accessories”. For additional guidance in selecting a sling, refer to the instruction guides for the respective sling models. Here, you will also find guidance for combining Liko’s sling bars with Liko’s slings.
