BATTERY CHARGING
Follow these steps to charge the onboard battery:
1. Remove the onboard battery from the battery case and place it near a standard electrical wall outlet.
2. Remove the cap from the charger socket located on the bottom of the battery, plug the charger cord into the
charger socket, then connect the charger cord to a standard electrical outlet. See figure 9.
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your charger cord. Plug the charger
cord directly into a properly wired standard wall outlet.
PROHIBITED! Removal of the grounding prong can create an electrical hazard. If necessary,
properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged
plug access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING! Prevent component damage! Do not attempt to charge the battery and operate
the lift system at the same time.
WARNING! Prevent component damage! Do not attempt to wire the lift system directly to
the vehicle battery if the lift system is equipped with an onboard battery.
NOTE: It is recommended that you replace the battery every 3–5 years. Store the battery in a
moisture-free environment when not in use.

Charger Circuit Fuse
The battery charger cord is equipped with a 7.5A charger
circuit fuse. In the event the fuse should cease to work:
1. Remove the cap from the fuse holder, then pull the
fuse out of its slot.
2. Examine the fuse to be sure it is blown. See figure 10.
3. Insert a new fuse of the same rating.
WARNING! The replacement fuse
must exactly match the rating of the
fuse being replaced. Failure to use
properly rated fuses may cause
damage to the electrical system and
may result in personal injury.
Main Circuit Breaker
The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your
lift system battery. When the battery and/or motor is heavily
strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit
breaker trips to prevent damage to the motor and the
electronics. If the circuit trips, allow the lift system to “rest”
for approximately one minute. Then, push in the circuit
breaker button and continue normal operation. If the main
circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your
authorized Pride Provider.
