Once the solar charger has been installed and both the control box and battery have been plugged in,
and there is sufficient daylight, the 24V Solar Charger will turn on and start trickle-charging the battery.
Without both the control box and battery being plugged in, the 24V Solar Charger will be o and will
remain o until both components are plugged in.
When a 24V battery is installed onto the lift, and there is sufficient daylight, the GREEN LED will turn
on to show a 24V battery has been detected and the charger is operational. If a fully charged battery
is being used, the YELLOW LED marked “H” will light up as well. If a non-fully charged battery is being
used, either the YELLOW LED marked “M” or the YELLOW LED marked “L”will turn on, depending on how
drained the battery is.
See the table in the image above for more descriptions on what all of the LED lights mean when they are
either on or o.
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.

Linak 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.
