Unpacking and Installation
Before installing the 24V Solar Charger to the lift, ip-up the 24V Solar Panel Assembly and install the
1/4” hex bolt as shown in the diagram above. The 24V Solar Charger for the Revolution, Scout and Titan
lifts bolts directly to the mast, as shown above, and may be left on the unit 24 hours a day. In most cases
this will mean the battery will not need to be charged during the day, or for heavy usage will not need to
be put on the AC wall charger as often. To install the 24V Solar Charger, remove the four (4) 3/8” Nylock
nuts and at washers from the lift as shown, and install the charger. The control box connector plugs
directly into the control box as shown above and on the next page.

NOTE: Make sure the plug is fully
engaged into the control box. Make
sure the lights come on (see next page)
and the lift functions normally when
the 24V Solar Charger is installed. If
the lift does not function, check all
connections going into the control box
and make sure they are pressed all the
way in. When installed properly the
battery will charge as the lift operates
simultaneously.

Solar Charger Operation
Once the solar charger 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 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 connected
to the battery. The charger will work even on cloudy days, but not as eciently.
When the battery is installed and there is sucient 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.
