Charging Wispa Hoists
When not in use it is VERY important to return the hoist to the end of the
track where the charging unit for the batteries is housed. To engage the
hoist with the charger, traverse the hoist to the end of the track. Correct

engaged,chargingisautomatic.Afteraperiodoftimethelightwillflashgreen
toindicatecontinuouscharge ok. No further actions are required to charge the
batteries.Thebatteries cannot beovercharged.
Testing the Emergency Lowering Device
Please Note: The emergency lowering device uses a seperate battery to
allow the occupant of the hoist to be lowered in the event of an emergency.
Theemergencyloweringdevice should be tested and the battery replaced if
necessary at each service and after use. Frequent testing of this device in
non-emergencysituationswillquicklydischargethebattery.
