M1 microswitch stops lowering automatically in a position
where the vertical distance between the scissor ends is over
100 mm. The operator on the platform should check that no
people are nearby the area with crushing risk, only then the
lowering control can be resumed (see chapter "Lifting and
lowering").
Check operation at least once a year.

7.4 Battery
The battery is one of the most important elements of the machine. It is recommended to keep it in an efficient condition to increase
its useful life, to avoid faults and to reduce the management costs of the machine. The STANDARD machine incorporates a GEL
battery, therefore the following instructions refer to this type of battery.

for the first 4/5 times.
 In case of new batteries full performance is achieved after approx. ten cycles of discharge and charge.
 The sealed GEL battery does not give off any gas during recharging and therefore no special venues are necessary to perform
the recharging operations.
