To ensure the Opera is always ready for use, it is
recommended that a freshly charged battery pack is
always available. This is achieved by having
additional battery packs available and keeping one
on charge while the other is in use.
It may be considered good protocol to have a
freshly charged battery ready for the start of every
work shift.
Place the battery pack on charge as follows:
When the LED on the battery discharge indicator
displays amber, complete your lift cycle then take
the lifter to a convenient situation and remove the
battery pack by holding the grip position of the
battery and pressing the release catch situated
above, pivot the battery away and lift clear. Take
the battery to the battery charger unit and ensure the
battery is positioned securely then insert the battery
connector from the charger into the corresponding
connector in the back of the battery (see fig. 55),
switch on mains power. An orange light will be
displayed on the charger unit when the battery is
totally discharged. This will change to a yellow
light as the battery approaches full charge capacity,
finally changing to a green light when the battery is
fully charged.
A discharged battery should be left approximately
8 hours to totally recharge (See also ARJO Battery
Care document).
When the battery pack is fully charged, disconnect
the mains power, remove the battery pack from the
charger, and insert it back into the Opera battery
position.
Ensure the green reset button (situated on the rear
of the mast) is pressed in (see fig. 1).
The Opera is now ready for use.
•Note: Whichever level the indicator
has reached, once a fully charged battery
is re-inserted into the lifter, the display
will return to the green fully charged
position, but if a partially charged
battery is re-inserted, the level at which
the indicator had reached will remain,
even though the recently inserted battery
may be in a better state of charge than
indicated. To achieve a true indication of
battery state a fully charged battery must
be inserted into the lifter to reset the
indicator.
Caution: Ensure the mains power to
the charger unit is switched off before
connecting the battery.
Warning: Always ensure the cable
connection plugs that fit into the charger
and into the battery are fully inserted
before switching on mains electricity.

•Note: The cable that connects the
main electricity supply to the charger is
supplied as a detachable item. If using
the battery charger for the first time or if
the cable has been unplugged from the
charger, connect the cable fully into the
charger before connecting to the mains
electrical.
Warning: Hold the pack firmly to
ensure it does not drop and become
damaged, or cause personal injury.
•Note: The battery pack may be left
connected to the charger unit when it is
fully charged without being damaged by
overcharging, this will also ensure the
battery is kept fully charged.
Caution: Always disconnect the mains
supply before disconnecting the battery
charger unit.
