to six seconds. The charger will start even with
severely discharged batteries (down to 1V terminal
voltage). Once charging starts, the LEDs indicate
the charging progress.

The charger goes into an equalizing charge mode after

the batteries are charged and all 3 LEDs are ON. The
charger will continue to charge at a low current then
shut off automatically when complete. If all 3 LEDs
blink together, there is a problem.
Take proper action according to the following
instructions:
3 LEDs blink once simultaneously:
Output connection error. Check the battery and charger
connection. The output may not be connected to the
batteries or the connections to the batteries may have
corroded or loosened. The output may be shorted due
to improper connection to the batteries or pinched
wires. The output may be connected in reverse polarity
to the batteries. The charger is not damaged by any of
these problems.
3 LEDs blink twice simultaneously:
The charger is indicating that the AC voltage is too low
or too high. Check the AC input voltage.
3 LEDs blink three times simultaneously:
Charger is overheated. No action required. When
the charger cools, charging will restart automatically.
Check and correct for dirt or other debris on charger
that may be reducing cooling.
3 LEDs blink four times simultaneously:
Input or output over current. No action required,
charger will correct and restart automatically.

LCP - Locally Concentrated Pressure is a measure of how hard the aerial platform presses on the
areas in direct contact with the floor. The floor covering (tile, carpet, etc.) must be able to withstand
more that the indicated values above.
OUP - Overall Uniform Pressure is a measure of the average load the aerial platform imparts on the
whole surface directly underneath it. The structure of the operating surface (beams, etc.) must be able
to withstand more than the indicated values above.
NOTE:
The LCP or OUP that an individual surface can withstand varies from structure to structure and is
generally determined by the engineer or architect for that particular structure.
