4.
5.
6.
When charging for the first time, allow to charge uninterrupted for at least 24 hours.
Your Spot Lifter should be in charge mode whenever you are not using it. When charging, the Spot Lifter and charger may become warm to the touch. This is normal, and no cause for concern.
Make certain the Spot Lifter is turned OFF. Switch must be in “OFF” position to charge.
When completely charged, your Spot Lifter will operate for up to 5 minutes. When completely discharged, it will take approximately 12 hours to fully recharge.
If necessary, your Spot Lifter can be charged by connecting the round end of the Power Cord into the special Power
Port at the back of the unit.
Decreased operating time may indicate that the battery has built up a charging resistance. To recharge, first completely exhaust the battery, recharge it, then exhaust it once again before recharging a second time. This procedure may be required more than once. If your battery still fails to recharge, or hold a charge through normal duration
(5 minutes), call:
