Battery Powered Frame models
General
The battery powered system uses a 24 Volt rechargeable battery which drives a linear actuator. A
removable battery is supplied with the system together with a wall mounted charger which is to be
installed by a competent person in a safe dry area.
To operate the raise/lower function
Firstly check that the proposed operation will not cause damage to nearby equipment or injury to
personnel. Press the buttons on the hand set to raise or lower the unit as required. Releasing the
button will stop the operation. (If the unit is fitted with the additional feature of a red emergency stop
button, this may also be activated to cause an immediate stop. The unit will not operate until the
emergency stop button has been reset) - this is done by twisting it until it clicks out.
To remove and recharge the battery
The battery clips on and off the mounting bracket on the frame by means of a release lever at the end
of the battery. When the battery charge level falls to approximately 50% a warning buzzer may sound
each time the unit is operated. At this stage the battery must be removed and recharged. This will
ensure maximum battery life. To recharge the battery, simply unclip it and attach it to the wall mounted
battery charger well away from the wet area and free from interference. A light will illuminate when the
battery is charging and extinguish when charging is complete. (A further light on the charger indicates
that it is connected to the mains).
Care of the unit
The system must not be overloaded. It is designed to operate with only one person at a time. Should
overload occur, a cut-out may operate and the unit will not operate until the overload has been
removed and the system has automatically reset itself, normally within a few seconds. Should gross
overload occur, physical damage to the actuator or the bathing unit may occur and the unit may
descend to its lowest point.
The unit should not be used if cabling or other components appear damaged.
The system is designed to operate in a bathing/showering area, but the components should not be
submerged in water or subjected to pressure washing. Kingkraft recommend Chemgene® for
disinfection of the surfaces. The components should be dry before reusing.
Fault finding
If the system doesn't operate, please check as follows.
Is the battery charged?
Are all leads and connections fully engaged?
Is the battery securely clamped in place?
Has the emergency stop button been activated (if fitted)?
Should the above fail to correct the problem, please contact Kingkraft.
