Once the BATTERY CONNECTOR has been installed, and a battery is installed onto the lift the 24V Solar
Charger will turn on and start trickle-charging the battery. Without the battery installed the 24V Solar
Charger will be o, and will remain o until a battery is installed.
When a 24V battery is installed onto the lift the LED INDICATOR will ash“2” to show that a 24V battery
has been detected and the charger is operational.
The Solar-Panel power indicator will light up (red) when the Solar Charger has been properly attached to
the battery. The charger will work even on cloudy days, but not as efficiently.
When the battery is installed and there is sufficient sunlight, the CHARGE INDICATOR will ash (red)
slowly, indicating the battery is being charged. When the controller detects the battery is fully charged
the ashing will stop. Under most conditions the CHARGE INDICATOR light will be ashing whenever a
battery has been installed.
The 24V Solar Charger will continue to charge the battery, even as the lift is being used. So once the 24V
Solar Charger has been installed it will function without any need for adjustment. The user should check
the indicators periodically to make sure it is working.

Battery Maintenance
1. Do NOT expose the battery to freezing temperatures.
2. Do NOT expose the battery to prolonged periods of extreme heat or severe cold
temperatures.
4. Do NOT expose the battery to long periods of direct sunlight. Heat will shorten your battery
life. Optimum operating temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees F.)
Aqua Creek recommends a battery cover be used with solar chargers since the battery is left on
the lift at all times.
5. Never drop or bump the battery pack. This may result in loose or damaged internal
connections, and may damage the battery terminals.
6. Keep battery terminals clean and free from dirt and corrosion to ensure good contact.
The terminals may be cleaned using alcohol and a cotton swab. Clean o any corrosion or
discoloration of the battery contacts with a Scotch-BriteTM pad and then apply dielectric grease
(supplied with lift) as shown in the gure below.
Clean with alcohol
and a cotton swab and
apply dielectric grease
to terminals
